This morning, again, I watched as workers chopped down bullrushes that thickly surround two large adjacent ponds, and photographed the birds tromping around over the fallen foliage, which is in a floating state and has not yet been removed. But not to worry, there are many other ponds nearby where the birdlife can and will establish new hangouts. This guy surveys his changed "digs." I know the background is thick and distracting, but I wanted to show it. The image is heavily cropped, and I used NR and USM and brightened the eye. I wish Mr. Heron stood out better. Suggestions appreciated . . . .
