This bird nested along side the road to my house and is used to cars. So, I took advantage of her diligence.

GREAT image! I just love these birds....their eyes are so interesting, especially when you get a great shot like this one.

Sweet! She might return each year to the same spot, too. My cousin had one nest on her driveway for a few years in a row. I can remember having to drive up on the lawn to get to her house because she would put big timbers around the nest to protect it.

Of grateful evening mild; then silent night
With this her solemn bird and this fair moon,
And these the gems of heaven, her starry train.

Great shot. Nice and sharp with alot of detail. How close
were you? I did a little bit of processing in Photoshop to
make her eye more pronounced. Hope you will not mind?

Happy shuttering,

Ernie
