Black Brant

[Bonnie Block]

We have a lot of Brants in the area right now--and they are fairly easily approached at one particular spot that I go. Each Brant has its own face--no two look exactly alike.

Nice-looking specimen and eye contact. You handled the harsh light quite well.

A very nice capture Bonnie - another new species for me, the head resmbles that of a goose!?
Thanks for sharing!!

great capture, bonnie. these guys are beautiful. looks like it may need a tick of CW rotation, but it may be an illusion.
