Just got my 685B Monopod and saw this guy in the trees in the woods around the corner from my house. EXIF should be in tact. I am still learning how to use Lightroom so I hope the crops came out ok. He was probably about 40-50' up in the trees and these photos were taken with my 100-400L.

Comments & Criticism MUCH appreciated. I should note it was very windy and the top of the trees he was in were rocking pretty good at times...fwiw, I was able to get off about 50 shots in about 15 mins or so. I hope to find him in the same area again.

I believe you are correct, although he never gave you the perfect pose.

It's great when they look right at you.
I'm glad I'm bigger than he is.
That 3rd shot is scary.
Nice.
