She's probably thinking, "should I jump or not." What a sharp, crisp image, Richard! I'm always amazed (and jealous) at how sharp your images are.

This one appears to be a Shoveler/Mallard hybrid. Makes a handsome duck.

It must be a soothing image, Steve. I feel asleep working on it in Photoshop! :p Thank you kindly for the wonderful compliments you always give me (even though I don't deserve them). I really appreciate your thoughtfulness.

I think the reason why is, the limpkins are looking for shelled mussels and the stilts look for soft mollusks and both foods are found together along the shore. No competition going on so there's peace among them. Have a great day, Mike!

Thank you for the reply, Kirk.

Patience sure does help when observing their behavioral habits. Happy trails.

Thanks Mike.
Those Scrub Jays are comical and fun to photograph.
