This guy flew by at a very close range.
The background is the water.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks Jake.
Burlington Ontario, Ship Canal at the Lift bridge.
There are thousands of them feeding on Zebra Mussels.
They can be found mostly between late November to end of January.
It depends on the ice condition as the ice moves in and out from the bay with the ebb and tide
but sometimes is freezes solid including the Lake, along the shore.

Karl, excellent image. The composition, flight angle, and eye contact could not be better. Beautiful work.

Beautiful angle and love the diagonal with the outstretched wings across the frame, Karl. Wonderful shot and beautiful detail in the larger view. Love it!
