This B&W picture serves us well! It is perfect antidote to the ritual of Black Friday and Monday and pre Christmas rush to “bargains” to gather our money to send to China which represses its peoples!

Can you give us a detailed crop from your original as there’s a lot of interesting detail. Is this an egret?

Thanks, Chris, for taking the extra effort for me. Not often does the shot expose these features so well when the sky is so bright!

Very interesting morphology of central chest feathers. Is it scraggy and worn out or this is normal for an adult?

Asher

BTW, is your area now rebuilt and are the people recovered emotional and financially?

…and Chris,

Is this a monarch butterfly? Usually there are many together here!
