Went out to Lake Draper again specifically to look for good birding spots. I found this nesting pair about 30 feet off the main road. I just pulled the Durango off the road a little and waited. The pair would take turns in the nest, while one went out to forage for food or nesting material. In this image the male has just returned with food.

    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!"
