I looked at the link and it shows that this bird migrates!

This was the first one I had ever seen. Just hanging out at the marina strutting his (or her) stuff.

Beautiful pictures. You feel you have seen them yourself.

You are very good - sometimes it comes down to gear and position - but skill helps.
MitchRay
You take some pretty spectacular photos yourself. I hope to be that good eventually.
