Arrow The Rocking Rokies - II - My first bird shots

This was the best thing about my Banff trip,
i had opportunities that i never had before, this was another first for me,
shooting a bird(i don't know what kind it is ) from so close..
because i do not have good zoom on me i never get to do this..
but this bird did great by posing for me..
it was not at all scared of me going so close and taking pictures,
very tourist friendly i must say..
i liked the photos.. hope you like them too

He's a fine looking fellow atulsc, I will find out what it is and post again later (if someone doesn't beat me to it). A bird shot like this always gives me a cheer. Thanks. PAUL

Not sure what kind it is either, it's young though, probably just out of the nest; Crystal clear photos
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.
