Thanks Ecke. I barked like a dog, whistled and stamped my feet, trying to get him to fly away, and he didn't budge. So I figured I'd move upstream a bit and try to get a shot from a further forward position. Of course, as soon as I lowered the camera to move, he took flight. It was quite a sight with his five-foot wingspan, but I didn't get it. Paul
