Thanks, Laura. I would love to get some photos of their young but haven't been in the right place at the right time yet!(with my camera!)
This is awesome! He looks like he's had quite a scare in the first pic ;) Very cool birds.
He sure looks alert :)
Ya haha it's interesting and crazy looking
Thanks Jake and Satyen. Doesn't he look totally wired and on the alert?!
