Spring is my favorite time of year, in part because of the migratory birds arriving and in mating season.

Oh hi Brian ... surfacing after a longer absence , nice to see you back .
You come back with a typical Sump shot ... lovely light , super low angle and the calling is the icing on the cake .
Nicely processed and I do love the overall colors and the showing tonal range .
Very nice overall presentation
Cheers Andreas

Super shot Brian - clean as a whistle, super pose and the tongue just adds a little extra. Low angle and amazing colours

Everything Perfect, especially the 7.1 and thus the DOF. Great to see you on deck again.Thanks .

I have long envied my American friends for the beauty of their Avocets. The tan colour looks very nice and more interesting than our plain black & white birds. Although they are beautiful in themselves.
This is a delightful shot - I love the posture with the foot out of the water and the calling. Very nice image and so well executed.
