Coming in for a landing

Taken at Constitution Gardens on the National Mall. We really should get down there soon to see if there are any birds wintering in the lake, but it’s just been too cold to do anything like that. Luckily the temperatures have finally risen to a balmy 50 F (10 C)!

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

Great timing. The spread of tail feathers is fascinating.
