Just lucky to see this bird let alone get a frame off. I know the techs are way off and this is after major work but I dont care I love it because e is just flat out not easy to get on top of.

Not bad after your "major work", Douglas. They're not known for being easy to find. I have plenty of "nemesis" birds that I'd take under almost any conditions. :biggrin:

A decent shot under very tough conditions. This is a skulky species, in my experience; good work just getting the bird unobstructed.
