Finally! A bird I've been after for several years, that until recently has eluded me. I was quite happy to finally see and photograph one.

Canon 7D Mark II
Sigma 150-600 at 500 mm
1/800 at f6.3
ISO 1600

Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

He is gorgeous, Allen, with great detail in the feathers. Nice perch.

Very good, Allen. I like the perch and the pose and background are excellent.

I have never knowingly seen one of these although it appears that they do show up in my area at times. Really nice job on the composition and background.
