A super picture of this wonderful area and golly gosh... all those birds!!!

Very well done Alok.

I'm a bit confused, though only your latest video is showing in the existing Video Search link on the Opus article, so I don't know what happened to the previous video you uploaded? Or did i dream it?
 
A brilliant Lakescape image, Alok !!! Such a wonderful variety of birds. Thanks for sharing.
