Beautiful shot of this goldeneye drake performing his courting dance, Shalu. The sharpness and detail are great. This unusual pose is captivating.

Wonderful low camera angle shot, Shalu.

Beautiful close-up of this surf scoter! Such fine sharpness and detail, Shalu.

Thank you very much for your compliments, Mike!

A couple shots of some black necked stilts. I don't normally spend much time on these little guys as they are far away and not around anything interesting. But when I was out ove rthe weekend there were some fairly close and in some nice calm mater which allowed some pretty good reflection shots.

Worth the 2 hour ( for you ) drive. Beautiful to see, and pretty cooperative.
It’s a “he”. It was captured and banded, back in December.
