Great opportunity and a nice image, Joe. Most of the time I see them in Fall plumage only.
Nice pose & comp, Joe! Maybe my eyes are growing old but I'm missing just a touch of sharpness?
Nice pose and POV.
The waves in the BG provide a nice BG.
The face is a bit soft from not enough SS.
I find when these guys "drill" when foraging I need SS of 1/2500

Agree with head softness.
Love the POV though.
Thanks for sharing mate.
