That second shot is super. The feather detail is amazing and the exposure is spot on.
Great job, I'd say one of your best!

Based on what others have been saying, he turns up in the afternoons.

The other, horror horror, possibility is that he has been caught.

We went down on Saturday around noon and couldn't see him anywhere.  There were a couple of odd ducks that were very dark that I had never seen before, but there was light rain so I left my camera in the truck.  I might have to go back for another look this afternoon.

Sometimes you need a little help to get the best shot.

Thanks for the update.

The others could be Black Ducks as pointed out by one gentleman that day. Only one there then, maybe more have arrived.

I might go take a look tomorrow afternoon if the dang wind dies down.

Rubbing it in to those who came to the party late, eh?
Nonetheless, it's' a  great pose and thanks for sharing.

No, not at all. I am sure he is somewhere. He has just not been re-found yet.

Could also be that those kindly folks who were concerned for his welfare have given some farmer an excuse to charge you $$$ to see the guy.

Peace Ramesh. Please keep posting - we can never have enough of this beautiful specimen. To repeat John Keats - A thing of beauty is joy for ever.

Thanks but that would bore everyone. Too much of a good thing sort of thing. :)

I will put the rest somewhere and let you know. Ah, on the phone will be ok and you can have a private view when we meet. :)
