This was one of those rare instances when I get to shoot a bird when its positioned so the light is favorable.

Lovely light, Wayne. I get to see a lot of these guys when I'm in California and love shooting them.

I would revisit this and while I know that's clouds on the left, the very upper portion of the cloud/haze looks a bit more like a dust bunny.

Nice capture. I like the bird's perch too.

Wayne, you caught an interesting pose and I like the light and perch. Detail and sharpness look good. Nicely done.

Lovely pose, composition full of details and pleasing shot. Am curious: what's it standing on?
