I was out to take a few waterfall photos at an old mill that's been
converted into a house, (it's for sale if anyone has a couple Million
dollars they want to spend), when I was taken entirely un-awares by this
guy who just about jumped into my face on takeoff. I didn't have the
lens I would have wanted with me let alone mounted on the camera, and I
was set up for more or less static subjects but still managed to get off
a few shots. His plumage isn't too blown out in this one, and I managed
to get a pretty good pan as he made his get away.

some camera movement.
This is a crop of about 2/5 of the original frame.
