This is a great shot, Rita. I really like the subtle reflection of the bird and the action of the water, and I adore your title. This guy seems to be intellectually impaired, i.e., dumb -- sunk to his ankles with a wave crashing in, but I bet he stepped back or flew off no worse for it. Interesting image and very well done. #1531377

Nice one, Rita. Getting shot if these birds is hard. We went to Galveston and I tried to get some of these, but it was a no go! #10725897
