This female was resting on the ground on a huge aviary at a local zoo. This species is really hard to photograph in the wild and I have not a single decent image of this beautifull bird so I enjoyed a lot portraying this captive born female. At close distances, the 300VR lens works almost like a macro and the amount of details that this lens can register s amazing.
