GBH Pals

This closeup taken January 23, 2013 at El Dorado Park in Long Beach, California was an unusual one for me. I went to the lake because we expected a trout plan and Ospreys diving. The plant did not take place, but while I stood at the shore this GBH flew right toward me. I thought he was going to land on top of me, but he landed about 5 feet away. I guess he thought we were going to have lunch together. When I got over my shock I backed up to get part of him in focus. Out of 10 shots, this is the only one where his entire head and head feather were in the frame.
