Not exactly the composition I would have chosen but the bird (I believe a Heron) did not want to cooperate and promptly flew away after I asked it to move away from the fence. Regardless, we don't see these very often in our back yard and I've never seen one in the winter so it warrants photo of the day even with the less than stellar composition. For those who have not seen one of these, they are *big* birds, I'd estimate he stood about 18 inches high and that was in his scrunched down posture in the picture.
