Camera Nikon D70s, Lens Nikon 80 to 400 mm VR

All images shot from quite a long distance from the camera.

I was standing out in front of the Bright Angel Lodge along the canyon wall, the bird was up about as far as the El Tovar Lodge on a flat rock.

*****************************************

Same distance as the above photo but using a longer lens.
Nikon 600 mm with a 1.4 tele-convert on it.
