How marvelous this is, Bill, against the snow. And that's a great capture, with retaining the details of the bird's feathers.

  Excellent capture, Bill, and perfect title for how this hunkered-down bird blends with the snow-covered environment.

  What attractive camouflage this bird is sporting! Superb composition, Bill. I love the way the bird is positioned between the curves of snow.

  Terrific capture Bill under difficult conditions. Great job of spotlighting the bird with its white feather against the snow. First-Rate work. Fave.
