Great capture! #1291645Michelle Alton July 26, 2010
Love how this little puffy shore bird fills the whole vertical frame. Unusual and terrific! #8786191Nikki McDonald July 26, 2010
What a terrific capture, Deborah. I chuckled aloud when I saw this guy with his apparently crossed legs that appear to be way too slender for his rotund body. Wonderful detail, perspective and color. A favorite. #8787548Deborah Lewinson July 26, 2010

This fat, puffy little bird with his crossed legs made me laugh....besides being a great image!Rona L. Schwarz July 29, 2010
My goodness, he's a little butterball, isn't he - except that it's not butter that made him this way! Love his crossed legs - and your POV and use of vertical frame. Great timing with terrific details. #8794395Cindy Bendush July 30, 2010
