Pretty stoked with this shot. On my first visit to Maryfarms I saw quite a few Bustards but had very few photographic opportunities. After a frustrating couple of hours, as the sun was dipping below the horizon, I decided to call it a day. As I was leaving the area, this female flew across the road & landed right in front of my car just off the road. I pulled up, cranked the ISO & managed this full frame shot straight out of the passenger side window. Frustration quickly turned into elation!
