Nice shot, Christopher. I like the ripples and the position of the bird within them. Looks like the same guy I caught on Sunday...

And aren't they cute, too! Great shot on this one with the deep black stripe on its bill. Mine seem to look a bit faded. Nice head turn and details.

Very nice photo. This is an interesting bird with the black stripe on the beak.

Thanks for looking. I have been out there three times this year and never could get a half way decent shot of one of these, (hey I'm only using a Nikon 70-300 VR) I did like the way it turned out.
