This is an older picture (2007) that I reworked. This was taken in February on a cold misty morning at Bosque del Apache in New Mexico. To get the image I desired, I had to remove other birds and a whole lot of distracting and messy reeds, etc. Once again this is a photograph that has been manipulated to represent the vision I had for it rather than reality. The pose by the two birds however, is exactly the way it was. It is a little bit soft but it fits the mood I was trying to recreate.
