Thank you. We had three of these magnificent raptors visit the Rio Grande in my area this winter. The pair have left. One remains as of last week. Thanks again for your comment, Geraint
 
Excellent capture of a fine looking critter. I would love to see one of these, so keeping my fingers crossed when I visit the states next year. Thanks for sharing, and well done.
