I was finally able to photograph this bird - a Lifer - last month in the Interior of BC, from my car window.

1D Mk IV, 700mm, 1/2000 @ f5.6, ISO 640, morning light.

Thank you for looking; comments welcomed.

Nice one. Like the framing by the vegetation too.

Congrats on the lifer, KC. Beautiful creamy bg and sharp perch. I haven't seen many of these guys this year, but have gotten a couple.
