WOW A " 800 f/5.6L IS " Wish I had the resources you do. Very impressive I must say. You may claim to be "just lucky", but I think you are being humbly modest. That is very good. I personally think that you have a special talent also. My complements to your accomplishments!!

Looks like an Oriole of some type, maybe an immature Baltimore Oriole?

Here's one of a Great Egret I took while on a fishing trip recently. 1D MK III, 300mm 2.8 + 1.4 TC, hand held from a boat.[img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.32.28/343V9388.JPG[/img]
Jim...not sure how accurate my monitor's colors are of your pic;I would guessa first year male Baltimore Oriole.But, hedging my bet a little, there are a couple of SW USA immatures and females that could be possible.
BTW...nice capture, but I would have tried to use a little recovery exposure around the eye in post processing.
Regards
Bill

Yes, it is the "shore" or "bank" of the lake. The bird was in a very shaded spot close tothe shore so it appears nearly black, I also darkened it a little in processing to make some distracting background elements less visible.
