Great photos and interesting bird. I also just checked them out in my Roberts. I have two Roberts, a very old edition and even older one! Have a good weekend Diane
Mine is about 35 years old too but I am never without it. :)
Great captures of this gorgeous bird!
Thanks Jose. I managed to capture him fishing on video. Need to process it soon. :)
The one we saw fishing was so cool.
