Thanks, Mark...in the areas on Hilton Head Island, I have been able to get with 15 feet of them at times...around my home in Ohio, you are right...within 200 feet they are gone, lol!

Splendid capture Jim! What a great catch - the timing was marvelous. I love the color of the sky and clouds. The details of the bird are excellent - looks staged it's so good.

So glad to hear that. :) Love that shot - you have some great nature photos. I wish I could do it, but I stick to people because they are easier to find. :)

oh, WOW!
How majestic a photo!
LOL!
Yeah, when you don't see them just over the rushes, and they rise up like that, it can SCARE YOU!
Fortunately, you were armed with the 'maserati of cameras' and could jump on the moment!
Congrats on the award, Jim.
