Thank you Brian. I was too. I think the fact that I was in place before the adult landed was key.

Wow an amazing sequence. Definitely a case of being in the right place at the right time! Which, John, you seem to have something of a knack for.

Thank you Peter and Craig. The little one chose a great place to perch. We have been so dry that the background is last year's dead grass. No real new growth this year.

Seriously John, we have done nothing but rain since winter ended. A lake I shot some great stuff on last year was moving so fast over the dam I couldn't put the kayak in. We could use a little less water
