Great profile shot of this beautiful bird, Debra. He chose a great lookout spot for hunting and for the lady with the camera too :) Lovely mood, tones and detail here.

Debra Plett

Thanks very much for the feedback Heather. Love your comments:)

Jane LeBlanc

Very different from the last one. Much calmer sense from the photo. Great job.

Debra Plett

Thanks Jane. I did like the calmness to tjism8mage with the fall reflecting colours along the top edge.

Yves Langlois

Nice. A different composition with more calm water and green reflection. I like the mood on that one.

Debra Plett

Thanks very much Yves, your comments are always appreciated.

Description
I believe this is a nonbreeding/immature Greater Yellowlegs. The juveniles have crisp markings and are browner. Picture taken where the Red River floodway empties back into the Red River in Lockport Manitoba.
