Thank you Axel. I did not like the original composition, so I cropped it down to this. I desaturated it because once cropped, there was more noise in the image than I liked. I think it looks quite a bit better in B/W because of this.
I'm also finding that I'm drawn more and more to B/W wildlife. I don't see too much activity here in that direction, so I thought I'd post a few to see what the reaction is. More to come.
