It's been a long time since I've stopped in at this forum, and I'm really amazed at the quality of images being posted here recently. I figured I would share one of my recent favorites to the mix. This gorgeous bird was captured several weeks ago during an early morning visit to Plum Island in MA. It was nice to capture some decent images of this species because before this encounter, I seemed to have trouble getting close enough for photos. I thought the still pool in front of the bird made for a decent reflection in the gorgeous light.

Thanks for looking!
