GBH
This one, was a different time and different location. Studied these guys for 1/2 the summer, before I was even able to get a photo.
Thanks for looking and I am always up for comments and critiques to help me improve.

Good job. I've stalked a lot of these guys and they usually take off in the wild.

LOL, that's disgusting Rich! These shots are fantastic, I very rarely get a chance to shoot these birds. Apparently, it's cause I don't do what Rich suggested, I guess I'm doomed to continue seeing them as they're flying away.....

We are in a very rural area, so the ones I've come across here are not accustomed to people. I have seen some places where I can get in close and they aren't so flighty...of course that's when I'm not carrying my camera. I agree , with your comment on the 2nd photo. I honestly didn't even think I could get in close, as I had tried numerous times and failed. I will for sure take my polarizer, next time out in the hot sun.
Chas...All very good tips, but I always bring someone with me and use them for my decoys. They get the fish rub and run . PS...works great with eagles also!!
LOLThanks all for looking and commenting
