Nice! Saw one of these many years ago outside Kansas City. Nice details, too bad the leaves block most of the tail but tough to catch them on a perfect perch in the wild!

I have other shots with tail above leaves, but I like the head on this shot.

Thanks for the reply Warren

Looks great on my iPhone! Have been traveling and will be back home tonight and will look and comment tomorrow.

I don't mind the tail being obscured as the foliage is a artistically pleasing.

Very nice on my big monitor, too! I like the foliage, which fills the space well. Very nice OOF BG too!

You could consider cropping a little off the left side to remove the OOF piece in the LL and the diagonal branch in the UL. That could be balanced by a little off the right to get rid of the grass in the LR.
