This species does not appear in the Pacific Northwest and this is the first one I’ve ever had an opportunity to photograph. This was taken in Southern California in a riverbed estuary. I wish I could have gotten a little lower but that might have affected the interesting reflection.

Nice detail, David, and an interesting reflection. I love the neck to beak waves.

Excellent all around, David. Love the detail and color in the bird, and a great reflection. Well done.

Hi David,

All this one needs is a tweak to Microcontrast to bring out some of the feather details. Other than that, pose and surrounding water makes this a nice shot…Jim
