A series of more realistic birds. These are birds I spotted throughout 2024 which I'm working through!

Birds play a crucial role as scouts for underwater activities, and this holds true for the small creek I've been observing for days in anticipation of spring spawning. The signal to enter the water came during a confrontation between goosanders and brook lamprey. The spawning event unfolded within a compact one-square-meter area over a couple of hours. The scene resembled a chaotic ball of yarn, presenting the challenge of capturing a simplified composition.
