So excited to have these birds nesting down my street. They are very tolerant of my presence and really don't seem to care about m being there. Some are with my Z9 and 500PF and others are with my R5,500/4USM II, and 1.4III TC.All are hand held. The first 3 of the sub-adults are from atop the nest and the last 3 are from a pine tree across the street from the nest. All are just about full frame as I was able to get very close.

Awesome, Rich! We have had some come to our area in the last 2 years, but their nesting area is unreachable on private land. I'm jealous! Take lots more!
Now that is awesome! I don't know much about these birds but they are really cool looking. Great images, hope they provide many more opportunities for you to share
