Darter

What one might call a very intense stare from this male Darter.
Couldn't do much about the sun sparkles on the river in the background.

Nicely detailed shot, texture of the feathers captured beautifully. That beak sure does look lethal, glad Im not a fish.

Amazing portrait Jess. Love the light on him and fascinating how flexible their neck must be.

Thank you so much
They actually spear the fish.

Thanks Alan
I don't think he was too happy about me being there.
