Lester Wareham wrote in post #17107666 Wonderful shots Ian, good work with the contrast level there. I wonder if he was cleaning his beak on the branch or something. Thanks Carol, Rog and Lester....yep, I'd guess likely cleaning his bill, albeit in an unusual way. IAN - Living life on the shores of the Wallace River in northern Nova Scotia, Canada :
