One more from my last trip with the family.
This wonderful bird was first seen by my wife, and I stopped the car and could get some shots. The bird was too close for 500mm, so this is almost with no crop.

f/6.3, 1/200, ISO 400, -0.3, @500mm

A very cool looking bird, Jefferson.  Nice detail and a great perch.
