I found Steve several years ago and devoured all things Nikon that he offered. His books and videos were extremely educational for me. I purchased everything he put out until he published his first Nikon mirrorless guide as I was not shooting mirrorless. I joined the forums the week he started them but never did post anything. And of course promptly forgot what I used for email/username/password etc. to register. So I reregistered and figured I better post something before CRS kicks in again.
This shot was taken at the Merritt Island NWR up by Cape Canaveral in the spring of 2020. It's been a regular visitor (I'm told) for three years running at the time. I have not been back in the spring since to see if he is still here.
The general consensus is that it is a Tri-color/Snowy hybrid but that has not been verified. I suspect it is correct, as he is aggressive to other Tri-colors and snowy's, but who knows. And does it matter? Cool bird.
I wish I could have gotten a bit of a lower angle, but if you have been to Merritt Island NWR, you know that's a bit difficult at best.
Any and all critiques are welcome. Always looking to get better. Thanks for looking.
