Wow, I got close to one once but his back was turned and the sun was behind him, other wise one of the spookiest birds i know. Great shot.

Photography is my only pathological addiction; hopefully it won't drive me to something worse. :rolleyes: :oops:

Wonderful images and nice low angle. Can't ever seem to get anywhere near that close to them here.

Thanks Rick, I have to state that my trusty EF800/5.6ISL also helped a bit to make it more closer.
