Yes - I noticed the Loon. We don't have these in East Texas - just water birds which are similiar called coots.

Thanks for your comment, Pat. Not hand held this time. I got over some of my laziness -because of the rainy darkness - but nice light, I set up a tripod. The D70s has a problem with mirror shake at slow shutter, so I also used a special mount which couples and supports both lens and camera. Because of the mirror shake, it is sometimes easier to get a sharp picture hand-held with VR on. Did you notice the loon that had just landed in the middle, right foreground?

Eb - Beautiful contrast of colors, especially considering the time of year. Was this shot handheld?
