Congrats Jeff.......I'd certainly be happy with a shot this good. All I've ever gotten are shots of their tail feathers as they go in the other direction.

Thanks Gary, my shots are getting there. It has totally been a nemesis bird for me. I was very lucky to get this shot becuase the lake has a walking trail around it and they get spoked very easy. Thanks for looking and commenting...Jeff

Congratulations on a very hard bird to get a good shot of. I saw three today and only blurred results.
