Great details on beak but neck looks little hot on my monitor. Very nice composition Al.

Great timing Alfred to catch this capture and I sure hope that this would will make it. This is the tough part to witness in nature. It was an awesome day at Wakodahatchee yesterday and great to see you and Fabs.
