I don't see the long grass problem. Excellent image. Since it is after the rain, although not typical of shots after it has rained, it might be a good one for weekly challenge. This is what happens after it rains there.

Nice light on the bird and cool to catch it calling. Love the flying head feathers. Good one Ken.

I love the display, Ken. The grass doesn't look like a problem in this image. Nice work.

Very different and very cool bird Ken. The large image has great detail and I like the environment too.

Good eye contact, open bill and display, Ken. There must be a back story about long grass that we're missing.

nice capture Ken.
I'm still waiting for the perfect shot of a secretary bird after 30 years. It will come.
