Took this picture last week on Sanibel Island just after the hurricane had passed through. There are a pair on Sanibel Island and they had built a nest last spring but since that time no one had spotted them. Last week I saw the pair mating twice and then was able to capture this image. We were thrilled to know that they were back.

Nikon D2X
1/800
F8

All comments are very much appreciated.

Excellent pose and exposure. The OOF branch at the bottom is mildly distracting. Well done!

Nit covered - A very nice shot. The angle is a little steep but love the blue sky background.

Lovely shot, Judylynn. A difficult shot to get and it isn't from Homer. The eye really makes this one for me. Well done.
