Great shot, wonderful bird!! Thanks for sharing it!

Nice male!

Such a commanding pose ! Excellent!

Awesome capture!

Wow! Amazingly bird and image!

Thank you. He was very obliging. Sat still while I took some video and followed up with a few shots. Looked around, occasionally glancing to fix my position, decided I wasn't a threat and began to call for his mate who arrived a few minutes later. She did not perch. Just flew by and he joined her.
 
Spectacular shot. I really like the dark clouds, the soft light and the head angle.
Sadly, a species declining over most of its range.
