Is this a big crop? I've seen your beautiful pics of this bird but did not know it was endangered. Good timing!

Larger crop then I would normally post but I haven't been around much here so I just threw it up. Was out with the intention of catching some bass. They pretty much feed when the fish do so it's one or the other time wise :cry:.
