These are from an encounter 3 years ago. I decided to process a few more from that morning that were sitting in my archive.

Excellent captures Steve! I've been trying to hunt these guys down this year and haven't been very lucky. Seeing beautiful shots like these inspires my pursuit.

Thanks Slice. Hope you find some soon, they're fairly skittish here but in Florida I've been able to walk very near them. Having long glass at nesting time is a must to keep the distance comfortable for the birds.
