'Pesky ducks...'

The ducks and geese on the lake have buddies to hang out with, but the heron is all alone. He had been standing here by himself for a while when suddenly the ducks appeared. If I could put an emotion to that look, I’d say he’s a bit irritated to have to share his space.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Nice detail in the heron's plumage. Interesting to see the difference in height. V
