I captured this image at the rookery in Gatorland, Orlando, Florida yesterday morning. The bird landed, I moved quickly to position and got off two frames before the bird took flight again. It was having a difficult time holding onto the perch. Heavy overcast, spitting rain off and on. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
