Hi Sandy,
Thank you very much for your message.
I was on the shore of this "little lake" called Shoreline Lake in Mountain View, CA. I have been observing the behavior of these guys and I noticed that they have a very small territory that they patrol aggressively. Then I just waited for over one hour until they got used to my presence. This male was only aprox 25 feet from me. To take this shot I used the 400 mm F/4 plus the 1.4 extender for a focal length of 896 mm on a tripod.
Lens aperture F/10
Exposure time 1/800sec
ISO speed: 200
Metering Mode: Pattern
Exposure Program: Aperture Priority and
Exposure Compensation: -0.3 step
I hope this info will be helpful to you.
Regards.
Yamil

Beautiful pic, looks like the cover of a magazine or book. How were you setup for such a shot? On land, in a boat, or how far away from the subject?
