I post a lot of pictures of these birds. If you ever saw them in the wild, you would have to be impressed with their elegance. To see them quietly feeding in the early morning gives me a sense of peace.

Yes, they're a study in controlled slow motion, up until the strike that is.

Nice detail in the shot.

Very nice image Kiddo70! I was lucky enough to have a similar experience photographing them one time in the early morning. They were not bothered by my presence at all. Great birds!
