I removed a very similar photo from the contest to submit this one---color cast corrected.

This photo was taken on the river which appears green from the reflection of the trees that line the bank

Connie that's an awesome capture and right on time :) I know how shy these guys are and this one was probably leaving the place because he saw you ...right?
Wonderful...

Thanks Kathleen, Mary, and Sylvia. Yes, Sylvia, they are SO shy---I've been following this guy up and down the river for months and finally the last few days have been getting some shots of him.
