I told Adrian if he doesn't shoot I am going to have to move the whole tripod to the other side of the tree (whihc of course would get us busted). he takes the bird and it drops hard.

47 yds if I remember correctly. Hevi-13 #6 20 guage load. After the shot when I looked at it from my own eye instead of the lens of the camera on zoom I was shocked at how far out the bird was.

I think this is that bird. Too many pics with this ugly fellow to be sure it's the right one but I know it's the right place.
