Nice shot. We have one or two at a local pond I visit (saw one this morning), but they are usually too far away and move off the branch too quickly for me to get a shot.

Thank you. They are certainly evasive birds

Nice shot Stven. These guys are really difficult for me personally to photograph, to the point where I basically gave up on them as a subject for the most part. I plan on dedicating more time to them next year when they return.

Thank you. The biggest thing I’ve seen with them is showing up early and keep movement to a minimum. These things have some crazy good eyesight.
