Nice bird and good story...  But...  Great pictures!

You must have had a combination of knowledge and good lighting to get those pics...  They are crisp and really show off the colors of the bird well...  Not to hijack, but what type of camera were you shooting?

Thanks everyone!

Canon 1DsIII. It's a nice camera if you know how to take advantage of it. It's too big to carry hunting though, so it only works if I'm hunting close enough to the car where I can go back and get it when needed.
