Juveniles were never far from the parent. I thought the flowers in the field made an interesting addition.
Nikon D300, 500mm F/4, F/8 1/1250 ISO 800, -1/3 comp, handheld
This is a pleasing environment with the coreopsis included. Like the head turn.
Thanks for sharing.....

Lovely composition and beautiful eye contact and pose in this image. The shade of brown is slightly different than I remember but perhaps that is because it is a juvie. Congratulations on a lovely image.
Lovely pose, and good light on the head and eye. The head seems far sharper than the rest of the bird, so some selective sharpening should sort it out.
