Shot under heavy gray clouds and slight fog over the water. However, they are already in the mating mood by the looks of it.
Thanks for looking.

Great shot Karl - the open mouth really adds to the photo.

Karl, excellent behavioral image. Excellent timing also to catch this pose with the open bill. Well done.

Got to love them when they do this wonderful (and crazy) display, Karl! A fine shot.

We had some snow this morning and 26degrees F with a biting cold wind - and I was watching birds collecting nesting material! There were also some crows breaking off the fine birch tree twigs to take for nesting. Crazy January behaviour.

Isn't it amazing what a bird will do to get "her" attention?! Great behavior shot.
