It was back in same area when I passed today so was able to get another look at this beauty.
It didn't hang about though and soon moved further up the road.
Beautiful to observe it's intense watching for tucker

Yeah, last time I had the 100-400 II and was shooting in the 150-300 range quite a bit. So this time I grabbed the 70-200 in hopes of catching some fast action. Unfortunately, it still isn't really making much progress in the hunting area, except for the being absolutely still part :)
