Taking a bit of a break from songbirds - here's one I captured this morning from my kayak.

Very cool find, are they rare in your area? Great light and details, maybe a bit CCW rotation.

"are they rare in your area?"

Not really. If you know where to look they are pretty common. Not that easy to get close to though ;)

Well it looks like you did a great job! Congrats!

Wow, great species and very nice light. Love the mood of the scene.

Love the 3d feel of this maybe remove one of the catchlights and tone down the hot water drops on the back but I would love to even see a bird like this

This is so good......I can't keep from looking. It's the one Aukelet that I didn't get to see when at the Pribilof Islands. The colors are magnificient....and there's a beautiful glow. I'm so jealous!!!!
