From Sullivan Co, PA. The parents were busy feeding the babies. I couldn't get as close as I did last year, but settled for a few "smaller in frame" images.

50D, 500mm w/1.4, Iso 400, 1/640, F6.3 LARGER version is all that I posted. Thanks for your comments/critiques...I learn from them all! Sharon

I've always found these difficult to get close to, but worth it for the distinctive plumage alone. This is nice, Sharon, and the background is lovely.

I like this Sharon...the background really shows the environment that it was photographed in. I share your pain when it comes to not being able to get as close as you would like...Bill

Sharon small in the frame works very well with this image portraying the bird and it's habitat very well, like it a lot.

A very hard bird to stalk, in my experience. You certainly got everything the bird gave you.
