Good one GW! You got the bird in a impressive pose! You are lucky to have gotten within 8 feet!

Oh, I think you've got a keeper! :roll:

(BTW, it is an adult in breeding plumage)

Thank you Jay!:-)

Hey penolta,
Oops you're correct! :roll: I changed my mind on which shot to post and forgot to change the title… thank you for the correction. And for the kind words! I just can't get the color to pop like I'd like, although I was surprised I was able to get some fairly sharp images with this old lens hand held @ 200mm.
