Birds of a feather do not allways flock together.

There was close to 30,000 aquatic birds close to the road today and so many photo opportunities. This one was my favorite.

Wow .. tack sharp, RedArrow! And it's a great fun image too. I really like how the three are set apart from the one. I know you had no control over that, but it's great compositionally speaking. Perfectly exposed and great colour.
I just watched a Sandhill Crane video on youtube not too long ago. Apparenlty a goose egg had ended up with some Crane eggs and this goose thought he was a crane and the cranes accepted him as one of their own .. in fact he seem to be somewhat of a dominant, pack leader type. LOL It was pretty funny to see this goose as the head honcho of a group of those tall cranes. So .. yes .. birds not of a feather, do flock together. I also frequently see geese with swans.

Thanks for looking and kind comment. Geese are bullies and I understand how it would take over. Young creatures bond at a early age to the first image their eyes see and a mother loves its young and excepts them no matter how cute or ugly but I bet she had concerns about that short leg young chick with that loud honk. I bet none of the flock dares tell it that it is not a Sandhill Crane. Do you think that Ibis on the end is trying to tell the Ibis with the Spoonbills it is not a Spoonbill.

Lovely crystal clear image. Crisp and sharp with every feather distinct. Interesting composition. A winner!

I like this photograph!
Tack sharp, but there does seems to be some blow out of the white areas.
I am going to use Uuglypher technique for evaluating it.
Impact: 5
Technique: 4.5
Composition: 5

Thanks ray, Handheld with VRII switched on and I wished I had set the tripod out for a couple shots.
