 I was able to get a little bit closer to one of these guys. I think after some more pursuit I should be able to get even closer, I'm learning their habits. Taken at 560mm, 400mm + 1.4x tele on gitzo tripod.

nice shot, I don't love the sky color, but the bird itself is good

They are pretty skittish. I can typically get within 50 yards of them just walking and then they fly away. I have to try harder to get closer. Its even tougher due to their size because they are really only a little over a foot tall!
