Preening interrupted

Constitution Gardens seems like a distant memory these days. It was always my go-to place for bird pictures and simply for being outside in the fresh air.

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

After the rain, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/1000s f/8.0 at 300.0mm iso500 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Very nice with great details. It seems to be riding high in the water. I think it is standing on solid ground.
