Your a Demon with that lens Jody !!! One tough capture !!! Big Congrats !!!

[Steve Maxson]

A difficult shot, but well captured, Jody. Very nice sharpness on the bird. The number and size of the spots on this bird's breast tell me that it is a female (in case you were interested in knowing this :) ).

AS other have said, you captured a difficult subject. Good work.

[Peregrine Craig Nash]

I would be happy with this shot that body and that lens make a great combination.
