Nice shot Kevin!

I would say from reading on wikipedia that this one is a female, am I right?

Thanks, Don.  This is the male.  The female is a kind of brownish gray, and is pretty shy.  Here's a nice photo (not mine) of the female.

By the way, I shot this with the 40D & EF 400 F5.6L

Very nice and sharp.   I like the bamboo perch; it adds contrast.

Excellent shot Don mybcjazz. The portrait style photo really works with the birds pose and perch and the wide 'open space' that you have left around the bird works beautifully.

I am envious of your gear! ;) I would like to have the exact same set-up but would swap the prime for a 100-400.

Thankyou for posting this, it is a beautiful bird.
