Here she is resting in the shade on a small manmade island in a park pond at the Riverwalk Parkway in Riverside CA. 03/02/17 in early afternoon

You do a great job showing the color and texture of feathers. Very nicely done, I can almost feel how soft they are.

You are the feather meister, Bob!
Thanks
I have a LOT of birds in my archives and since I hit the hospital with that Uber-Vertigo my wife doesn't want me driving until the doctors give clearance. So when "Create 52" on Face Book came up with "feathers" for the week's theme I have spent a lot of time browsing and then do a fresh re-edit.
