Nice light Ken - really gives the impression of early morning or sunset

Rob,

Thanks for your comment, it was around 8.00 am local time so about 1.5 hours after the sun appears over the horizon

Perfect dof, Ken. A wild looking bird. I like the composition.

Great bird, remarkable name and I like the-over-the-shoulder pose.
