…….I am sure what you are thinking… image taken in South Florida, Miami :oops: . We do have a high crime and a bad image but……….. Au contraire mes amies au contraire!!!!!

Image from the mid part of the state, west coast, south of StPetersburg and in of all places a Park ( DeSoto) Ahhhhh!!!

As the little guy is waking home through the mud flats( short cut :) ) he confronts a big fellow and is involved in some fowl play (I’m sure of that ) ……”Hold your wings up where I can see them or I will beak you”

Comments welcome and much appreciated

I like:
1. The green sand
2. The banded BG
3. The fill flash
4. And of course, the funny positions.

This would've made a great Motif for this week, Alfred!

Alfred,

Excellent work catching the stick-em-up pose. Perfect for the motif.

Wonderful image, Alfred. Is the bird on the left a Marbled Godwit, and the other a Tricolored Heron?
