Aren't they handsome guys these waders JJ.

That's a great pose he gave you, so I think he must know it too LOL.

Excellent work here my friend - very well done.

This bird looks like it has its eye on you JJ. Its a beauty. I like the harmony of brown tones, the white streaking on the crown and cascading down the breast, well everything!

And its always fascinating to see what comes as a variation on a familiar theme (Ruddy Turnstone is the only one Im familiar with). Especially when its a top quality image.

Incredible detail, JJ, and a wonderful close up.
