Ah! Was about to send you a PM but glad everything is okay. Power storms suck big time.

Now to get back to my thoughts on this beautiful image. A great closeup and beautiful feather detail you've captured here Dick! I just love this Plover's face.

Intriguing bird and fine capture Dick. I think you may have gotten more snow than we did, and no power cuts here - sort of upside down.

Sorry you are suffering with the weather, Dick. A wonderfully detailed portrait.
