Helps that I accidentally spooked him. lol. He has always flown the instant he sees me. This time I unintentionally spooked him, he flew to the next stand of trees, and since it was right on my way out I decided to find him. For whatever reason this time he let me get close. Have many a shots of him, but they are all basically the same. lol. Still will post a few different ones. :)

Thanks. He doesn't look all that large when perched, but when he decides to fly...

sadly, couldn't get a shot of him taking off. He wasn't that cooperative. lol
