Jay, nice sharp image but not to fond of the crop, I wish the whole bird was visible.
Was this taken at one of the "photo" ranches?

Hi Tim,

thanks for your comments. Yes it was taken at the Martin refuge photo blind. Yes, this is a crop of a nice, full frame, clear perch --- but I love this crop because it dramatises the moment -:)
