Yesterday I went to our very large county park nearby, and stood next to a lesser know large puddle carved out by tractors and other heavy vehicles. A variety of birds love to bathe and drink. These early spring arrivals are quite comfortable with humans, in fact I thought this one was going to land on me because I was close to a branch with leaves he was dining near. C&C welcome.

Love the framing with the leaves. With the head tilt, the net-wing looks a bit sharper than the head ...
with love, artie
