Not a common find, even here which is about the peak migration area. It was nice to catch a male and female together in one photo.

Terry, Good to see you posting! It's been too long!
Wonderful image - great luck to catch a pair, both in good position, good colours, and nice water.

Excellent, Terry. Both birds are essentially separated and in focus. I like the side lighting and the reflections. Good job of processing what was probably tough light.

Great to get the 2 plumages together. Really nice shot, if you have a little more room at the bottom to include the complete reflection I would include that.

This stopped me in my tracks! Nice to see the pair together like this. I like the lighting here and the soft colors.
