This was taken near some trees where these birds nest, and for the rest of the year they are in some other part of the world.

Perfect form and well captured. Again, I salute you, sir.
Very, very good!
This again has the WOW effect. Very nice!
Very well done Kevin. Also very interesting pigmentation in the feathers just below the eye. No doubt that was a slow process of evolution over thousands of years to prevent glare. Funny how those feathers knew to do that. Perhaps there is another explanation, whatcha think? ;) Good work.
Great photo. Especially interesting since I'll probably never have a chance to see some of these birds.
Yes Jeanne Kevin sees different birds than we do, it is so good to be able to share in his experiences.
Great job.

And remarkable how all those "glaring" experiences are passed on to offspring... Or was there a designer, uhhh, Designer?

Great job.
Yep, I think we're on the same page.
At any rate, a very beautiful bird and a really good shot. Some of you guy's do a really "jam up job" with your photos, but a BIF with a 400mm is not an easy task always. I have difficulty getting the same detail with a 300mm at 12 feet on a still subject. Yes, I know the 400l lens is a great one, but the fellow behind it plays a big role as well. So let's give credit where credit is due. Great job!
