How in the world did you ever get so close??? This is a great shot. The feather detail is awesome. You filled the frame perfectly and the eye/face area is well lit--what a good job!!

Thank you! I spent about an hour with this bird, inching ever closer until I felt to come closer would cause it to take flight. Then it started inching toward me. I used fill-in flash to keep it from being silhouetted, and the flash didn't seem to bother it.
