Thanks everyone, I appreciate all your comments.
Believe me Dinu and Bobo...I took a lot of butt shots this year as well. Dinu you got some great shots this year of these guys so it wasn't all just butt shots.
But you do have to wait and shiver and wait some more. Then go back and do it all again
It took me all winter to get this shot, these birds really like to hunker down and wait out the winds.
Lots of them still around so there is still a good chance of getting pictures.
At least there shouldn't be too much shivering going on any more.
