It's just awesome when you get a cooperative individual of a normally skittish species!! At least in our parts, the BBP often flees from within 50 yards (juvies included). This one, on the other hand, was content to pose and strut for us as it foraged on the beach, and then on the grass. As it was working its way mostly left to right, I located a beautiful patch of distant trees half a mile away across the river that I was hoping it would pose in front of. I placed myself in alignment to those and well...it did:cool:
Canon 40D + 100-400L @400mm, manual exposure, evaluative metering (metered off grass and histogram checked), 1/1250s., f/7.1, ISO 400, natural light, handheld, just about FF (very slight crop below and left).
