Lovely ground level shot with beautiful lighting, Chris.
 
Wow, when I first saw this I thought there was a bird with two beaks. This one of the best dawn pictures I have ever seen. You should enter this in a contest. How you got those two birds to dress right dress I'll never know. It's like they are in a marching band. Beautiful and brilliant portrait.
