This one I neglected to post, from a few years ago. Had a lot of these on my property for a few weeks, and haven't seen another one since. D80, 300f4, 1/250, f5.6, ISO 500. Tripod, blind. Comment and criticism welcome.

Nice pair. The male is really nice. Great head turn, nice pose. The female is just outside the depth of field and really suffers as a result and the turn is not ideal. Stopping down to f/8 may have helped. May have need a bit more ISO to pull off a fast enough shutter speed at f/8 though.

These do that a lot, Jim. Nice image with both birds in good focus and a nice head turn on the male.

Jim, my comments pretty much echo Keith's. The male is perfect and wish the female had a tiny bit more head turn and a tad more DOF.
