Nothing wrong with side views, Earl. Beautiful shots of a bird I don't think I've seen posted before. Lovely lighting.

This guy was sitting on a pole at the water's edge at the marina. I would have loved a more frontal shot, but if I tried to circle him, he would have vamoosed (which he did after 3 shots, anyway). The golden hour light was rich & the setting sun was directly behind me. Please download for better details.
