Love that crest Sandy. Nice alert/alarm pose and great detail. These guys are tough to get standing still.

Nice portrait of this bird, Sandy. A very sedentary pose for such an active bird-I don't know how you caught it holding still.

A big WOW ! Have only seen those when I wasn't into shootings birds, must have been 1996 in Joshua Tree. Anyway, yours is excellent ! Congrats on this one, Sandy ! Cheers, Hans
