Just Hangin

This is probably the same guy that made my Jan. 20th POTD. Signed up for a 2 hr. bird watching tour at Black Hills this morning. It was 32 degrees and windy but I dressed for it. We went to three different spots and saw an eagle in flight (to high to photograph), a couple different types of birds and ducks. The tour passed up this spot at the lake and I'm so glad I stopped by it before heading home. Coming off the trail in the woods I couldn't believe what I was seeing practically in front of me. Stopped backed up a bit and started snapping pictures. Will he let me move some to get the sun behind me? I don't know why but it was as if I wasn't there. I could walk and move within feet of him. He even caught a fish and ate it in front of me. I was switching to my IPhone to get a video so I missed that shot. It was really hard to pick my POTD shot because there were unbelievably so many. We had a 20 minute glamour shot session before he finally flew off leaving me with a camera full of pictures and a smile on my face.
Wow, beautiful capture!
