Gorgeous close-up of this fellow, Shirley!! I love the wonderful sharp details you've captured!! I'm with you...I love full face shots of these big guys, but you sure don't get the opportunity too often, and certainly not this close!! #11537560

Shirley D. Freeman November 15, 2016

Thank you, Teresa. I took this along the waterway (with the beach road running parallel with it), at Assateague NWR, and they are just so used to people being there that they don't pay us too much attention. <>< #11537587
