Greetings,
This indeed a beautiful bird. I never see this before. Probably won't find it here in tropical regions. Enjoy...


5DII and a few L lenses.

Enjoying every single second! I was there last year. Spent 5 weeks in Alaska and enjoyed Seward very much. Enjoyed Alaska very much! I will be back.... :)

Never made it to Ketchikan though. Sitka was as close as I got.
