I have stepped out on the deck and taken shots of this bird from a distance of less than eight feet on several occasions. Fearless! (the bird, not me... I'm leery of anything with talons and no fear of man...)  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. "Slower minds keep right..."

I usually just see them sitting on buildings & attacking crows (or other MB's). Nice detail! Canon 30D | Canon 28-135mm 3.5-5.6 IS USM | Canon 100-400L IS | Kenko Extension Tube Set |430EX Speedlite
