Sweet. The techs look good and the added story from carrying nesting material is a nice plus.

Sweet flight shot, Bob and you managed to get the eye showing nicely through the beak full of nesting material. Well done.

I love the light highlighting the birds head and the nesting material while the underside of the bird is shadowed
