Fun shot, Sandy, and it’s a good study on bird anatomy when viewed in backlight. I also remember seeing and commenting on Mia’s egret. I talk to her occasionally and miss seeing her work. Wish that she’d post here again.

Me too. I’ll email her - maybe you can too. I know she is busy with her almost-daily Blog.

Will do, Sandy.
