These were taken out the window of the Yeti-mobile...not far from St Johns U. Which I believe is pretty far south for this youngster.

I saw one of those last Thurs in western MN, I didn't take any shots at it though. That's probably because I had my shotgun in hand and not my camera, but I was about 3 seconds from going to the truck to make a trade. I wish I would have the way he sat and stared at me was cool and the dog and I didn't get any pheasants.

Great captures, I like the first one that shows the whole bird on a very clean background. What was this shot at and with?

The comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

stfcatfish...thanks for posting the exif...I guess the only thing missing from that info is that it was a 70-200 f4L lens....oh, and I was eating a Hershey's bar with almonds...the big size obviously! The Hershey's bar is key to any photo. wink

Truthfully though I am very lucky to get this shot...the lighting wasn't the best and it wasn't in a very natural setting....which is why I cropped the one pic so close. It just didn't seem right to have that piece of concrete showing on such a beautiful bird. I am very grateful that this bird gave me the opportunity to capture it.

Back to my cave....

Coordinates? grin You must have been darned close to SD, probably about 45 miles from Marshall. Next time you decide to go hunting in that area, let me know. I'll be happy to meet up with you.

I'm out there just about every week during the pheasant season, my parents live in town.
