I'm still sorting/processing images from my recent Florida trip. I found a lake where these birds were numerous and people had a habit of feeding them bread (of all things). I had 2 of them come over to my car and stand right below the window looking up at me, waiting for "bread". They were scurrying around everywhere and it was very difficult to get flight shots. In this image the background is actually water reflecting a large white cloud overhead.

Please click image for uncompressed view, thanks.

Great job maneuvering around to get a shot of this one, Bob. The colors on this bird are amazing.
