Thanks, Liz! I first say him perched in a tree behind a few small branches. I tried a few shots through the passenger window, then got out and placed a bean bag on the hood for a couple. He was probably 100 yds away and there was a trail leading in his direction, but as I stepped around the rig he immediately flew. As he took off, he did a wing over showing me his back with both wings straight out. The sun lit him up and he was at his closest point from me. I DIDN'T GET ON HIM SOON ENOUGH..eeehhh!!! He then landed in another tree about 150 yds away, hesitated for a moment and took off, offering me this view..among many others. I kept shooting 'til he was a tiny black dot.
