Hi Karl,

Very nice pose, and high Q picture. I like the alertness of the bird.
I assume is done at Grass Lake.

Regards, Mario

Thanks, Mario. It is a good place as well, but this one was taken in Burlington.

Showing your amazing versatility. Great find and capture. The fact that the bird looks busy adds to the image
