    Met last sunday late afternoon in Montreal Botanical Gardens. It was an heavy overcast day.

    I followed him for almost an hour before he decided to fish. Right at the moment he catched his prey, there was a sun breakthrough illuminating him. Tell me about luck :wink:

    It was very instructive to see him using his tongue to get the fish out of his beak.

    Rex, Louie, Phillip and Robert,
    a warm thank for your appreciation.

    Gale,
    thanks a lot for your kind word, my friend.
    I think this little guy has decided to take some vacation up north to experience cold weather :smile:

    Frits,
    How about this sunday?

    Raymond,

    Appreciate your kind words. One of these days, if you come visiting Scott, we can meet and go out shooting.

    Beautiful photos. I think this guy doesn't mind going so north because he knows he can get great portraits from you. :smile:

    Sandi, very glad that you appreciate them. Thank you.

    Phil, thank a lot for your kind words.
    If the birds can hear you, I will be a happy camper since it will save me a lot of walking and searching.:smile:
