We did have a nice day before it got cold again. Quite vigorous he was.

This is a fun study. The fast shutter speed did cool things with the water and this even light did great things with his green head. I liked the shot with his bill under the surface. Glad you got out.

Great set! Whole lotta shaking going on!
Thanks Mike. He erupted into this activity after sitting so peacefully. Really caught me by surprise.

Works great as a series!
Thanks Linda. I cobbled together a few shots, from the many, that made sense as a short sequence. This went on for a good while. I have never seen such a thorough and prolonged dousing, and it made for an exciting finale to this outing!

Great set, he really put on a show for you. Thanks for sharing them.
He did that. I was just about to leave the area, and caught site of him over the drop-off to the river. Quickly and quietly changed lenses and set the shutter speed at 500. Plenty good for a sitting duck! Then.. Quite a few of my shots were just a blur with water flying everywhere.
