Some more from Western Illinois - 12-12-2009, 03:20 PM


The weather was thick overcast, rainy, COLD & windy. So I found a big clump of grass in some trees, took the 100-400 & 500, some rain gear and huddled myself out of the wind best I could. As luck would have it this guy flew into one of the trees and did a little hunting for me. Then he flew off to join his partner & looked back at me with the greatest of contemp!!
