Same bird as on my last photo, but this one taken in early morning light.

Photo from Cape May, New Jersey.

20D + 500/4 + tc1.4; iso400 f8 1/200 (exp.com-1/3). Nearly full frame.

Nice light and a different bird, but I'm not keen on the high viewpoint. Looks to have been difficult (or impossible) to get down lower and have an obstruction free view from almost ground level.

Cheers,
John

An interesting looking species which I've not seen before.
Thanks for sharing it
