Brilliant photo - how did you get the bird to pose for you?

Andrew- Thank you :) These birds hover in mid air. They can stay in one spot like a helicopter. If your camera is fast enough and you have enough patients you can catch a pretty clear shot. I'm using a tripod here and a cable remote, so that I don't scare them off. I think that that they're getting a little used to me being around though :) I'm using the "sport" mode, for catching fast action. Plus, Andrew I take 100's of shots...some come out ok, others are deleted and some come out pretty good :) The latter are the ones that I share with you guys.
