We found a nice sized group of these guys feeding in shallows ponds created by the the recent rain and snowmelt in Northern Colorado. What a beautiful bird.

Thanks Mitch, we were about 50-75 feet away and took it out the car window with a 400mm lens.

Thanks, this was our first time as well. We had to look it up in the book while we were sitting watching and reconfirm once we got home.
