Not exactly sure what this bird is... taken at the St. Louis Zoo but this bird was not captive, it was just stopping by for a visit like we did.

EXIF: D40 105 VR, 1/400s f/5.0 ISO400

Northeastern part of the state... north and west of Hannibal about 65 miles. We are in St. Louis a lot though.

I have a bunch of STL zoo pics on my website, http://www.zoopictures.net

ah. i see. i was up near hannibal last year.

There are some really neat buildings (churches and such) off market street (on market and olive, near the stadium).

I've yet to go up there and shoot that yet.

Good call, that's what it is. Very nice shot. A little more DOF on the knees would have been nice.
