I'm a bird lover too and this is a great photo. Reminds me of a duck I knew, named Donald of course, who lived next door to us in NJ. He followed their son around like a dog and helped deliver papers.

ReplyDeletebut honestly, that close up, his nose is a bit creepy. :-)
I hope that you got that close up because of a super duper zoom lens! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhile beautiful that bird is looking a bit creepy staring out at me.
I have a bird as my subject this week, too. An annoying bird. A bird who pecks on my window every morning and every evening.
ReplyDeleteI love the detail of your bird.

interesting, the shadows give the photo a bit of mystery--even if it's a duck.
ReplyDeleteThat bird looks like he is on a mission! But seriously, being that close makes me nervous. I am afraid of being pecked.
