'Pesky ducks...'

The ducks and geese on the lake have buddies to hang out with, but the heron is all alone. He had been standing here by himself for a while when suddenly the ducks appeared. If I could put an emotion to that look, I’d say he’s a bit irritated to have to share his space.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
