Probably fishing line or something like that. Nice shot Ray. It looks like the bird has used the covering from the arm of a pair of spectacles to use as a falsie.

Really like the depth of field and completely blurred background. I wouldn't have noticed the bird's foot unless you titled things as such

Grant,

This was taken at a park in Clearwater, FL that had a large lake in the middle. There were many predatory birds and turtles here so he could have been injured by a predatory pretty easily.

This was taken with a K-mount SMC 200mm f4. This is an extremely sharp lens.
