Excellent sharpness in this image. I have observed this behavior in the wild as well, more commonly on the nest.That 500 mm just got you out there very well.

Thanks so much, Cindy and Hal! I certainly agree with you, Hal, that in some ways their actions do mimic human actions. And yes, the only way I can take pictures with the 500, with or or without the extender, is by using the tripod. The lens, by itself, weighs 8.5 pounds.

The way it's scratching is almost human, Terry. A rare moment and beautifully timed. Do you hand-hold the big lens + adapter, Terry ?
