it really makes you feel welcome. 8)

We have been reviewing the past months of shots and have found a few that will make it to print during the next weeks for the memory album.
This one taken in Churchill earlier this spring at the grainery ponds.

I am always unsure of the ID so I hope this is right if not just let me have it..... :?
comments always welcome.

I love the 'Big Smile' :D

A very nice, clean shot.

Doug,

A nice open bill shot. The top OOF area adds to the image. Perhaps croping the bottom more to remove some of the OOF area.

I like it Doug! And you got the ID right. Also, it't a male in great plumage. Thanks for the memories too ;)

Nice shot, Doug!

I love these birds, and the open bill on this one is special.
