And the reflection is almost as sharp as the bird itself, above.

And I love the way the bird is nearly camouflaged by the foliage behind it. Not so in the water, of course, which adds to the drama.

You've seen it the way I intended. This isn't a colorful bird, and it's easy to miss because of how well it blends into the background. Once seen, they're quite striking.
