I found this guy up high in a spruce tree in...where else...the Boreal forest. Finding a way to get him down to a perch was indeed a challenge :)Camera Model: Canon EOS 7DShutter speed: 1/100 secAperture: 5.6Exposure compensation: -2/3Flash: OnISO: 400Focal length: 500mm + 1.4x
Beautiful shot of a beautiful bird. This is one I need for my life list. To see one in this plumage, I'll need to make a trip north. They come through Maryland in the fall, but aren't so vividly plumed at that point.

I am interested in your techniques. Any tips to get them to your perch instead of just someplace close?
BEAUTIFUL shot of a BEAUTIFUL bird! I've only seen few of these and am always thrilled to see one.
He's a beauty - congrats!!
