This juvenile was very intent on something across the swampy part of the cove.
His interest pegged up a notch and he tapped his foot in anticipation.
His kee-ah, kee-ah call announced his growing impatience and readiness to hunt.
He glanced intently at me, making very certain I was watching – all youngsters want attention!
Then he launched and I wished him luck on his hunt.

Very cool progression. What camera were you using?
Canon 5D Mark IV, Canon 100-400mm, 1.4 extender
Ahh, nice combo. Thanks for info.
