Initially I thought it was a Marbled Godwit. After confirming with my Sibley guide, it is a Hudsonian. This guy wasn't shy at all, and I managed to get some decent shots before it was chased away by a Merlin.
For this shot, the morning lighting was on my left, which created shadows on the front side and highlights on the backside of the bird. I kind of like the lighting contrast.

Av, f/8, 1/640 sec., ISO 400, +1EV @ 500mm
Photographed using a Sigma 150-500mm lens (before it died horribly), on a side-mount Gimbal head on a monopod.
Nice quiet area to raise some Eaglets! I can't wait to see them ready to fly.
