Lens: Canon 500mm f/4L IS + 1.4x II TC 
Date: June 30, 2006
Location: Bob & Ann Gammell Longspur Pasture, North Dakota, USA| Description: This was an amazingly confiding, cooperative bird. Without a blind, fellow photographer Norm Smith and I approached within 6 feet of the little charmer as he sang, foraged, preened, and chased away intruding males, seemingly oblivious to our presence. |
