This picture was taken on last weekend in Burlington On.
The perch is a pile of twigs covered with mud.
It is exposed now since the water level is lower for the time being.

Great whites, nice detail, the plumage is fantastic.
Like the pose too. Great dark BG, goes very well with
the whites. At first I questioned the muddy ground,
but as a second thought I think it is OK. Very nice shot.
