Wow aa. You have captured some amzing detail in all of these shots of this beautiful bird. All great shots but the last one is outstanding, you couldn't have timed that one any better. Great work my friend.

To get that good of exposure on a bird with both black and white is remarkable. I'm impressed.

These are very well done.

Great stuff.
