Those Peninsulites, (CA,Bay Area) may have seen this bird sitting on lightposts and oaks or redwoods. Hesheit is huge. I am learning about these birds right now. I sort of took them for granted until I got a camera and realized how difficult it is to actually photograph them.
This bird must be at least 10 pounds and rules the roost from the Sandhill exit on 280 all the way around SLAC and back down to Woodside Road.
I think he has a lady bird around but she is harder to locate.
I was so frustrated that I could not get close enough with some old 30-105 lens I went and got a 70-300 Tamron for 200$.
I'm turning into a bird geek, or at least a hawk/falcon/predatory bird photograher.
They are incredibly beautiful.

Did you get my email earlier today?
Was weird ... I replied to your email regarding Chris and almost immediately got a duplicate message from you. I talked to him tonight and told him you were looking for his addy ... gave him yours.
