Walking towards the end of the pier seeing all the Long-tailed Ducks, I told my wife, it would be nice to have a boat coming through under the Lift Bridge
so the Ducks would take off for flight shots.
The next moment I heard the siren of the Lift Bridge.
It was not a boat, it was an ocean going huge ship.
I could not believe our luck.
Thanks for looking.

Really a wonderful angle in which to portray this beautiful bird.

Awesome. Wish this was mine.
