Ellen- Fantastic shot of this beautiful bird. I see them all the time but it is so hard to get near them on the river. This is so exciting the way you captured every little feature from its feathers, his long legs, the beak and the eyes. Gorgeous colors. Love the water and you got a bonus with that wonderful reflection of the rocks. Incredible work my dear friend.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy. Annie and I wish you a joyous one. #8561151
