    What a fine image! It is so sharp you can see every detail of the feathers and those droplets on its head--great lighting, and I love the reflection on its bill and in the water, too. Best, Pam

    Very nice capture Dan. I have seen this bird here a few years ago and photographed it, and since then I have not seen it, but I did here that it was back last year but never seen it.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
