Nothing compared to the quality of my other uploaded pix, but this guy is VERY DIFFICULT to photograph. I have a post on my blog dedicated to this amazing endeavor @ https://ak-azbirder.weebly.com/blog/jan-6th-the-ghotof-the-altbuh-plain. Lots of patience went into these pix!

Oh my alaskabirder!!!! You really have a lovely picture of him foraging on the ground! Not easy to get them in focus there, is it.

An excellent find for you too.... this is quite a scarce visitor to the Gallery and the first image to come in for around 7 years. Many thanks for sharing him with us lad.
