Beautiful bird I photographed while in Fort Worth, TX. These are the state bird in Oklahoma, my home state. This is an immature adult.

Nice shot. We have lots of these in Northwest Arkansas. I can't get close enough to get a good shot.
Thanks for sharing.

I see them from time to time at a distance when I'm out driving the back roads. Nice specimen and though the web version is just a tad soft it's apparent that this capture has plenty of detail. Looks good against that nice blue sky!

What a beautiful bird! Yeah maybe a tad bit sharper would help, but wonderful none the less.

A beautiful shot Daniel and a lovely bird. Wish you could have caught it on a brand but great on the wire also.

Daniel, nice catch, you must be using a pretty nice lense on this one.

Send one of these guys I north; I would like to get a picture of one!

We don't see them in South Arkansas either. Such is the pity!
