The wind was blowing just the right way to make the hair on his head poof up. One of my favorite shots I've taken of birds.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

I find it more fascinating that it is so close over the water. I have only ever seen them walking up to the water's edge. Very cool find.

Yeah, the location/environment here is as fantastic as the "hairdo". Terrific shot there.
