My head is floofy but not as much as my mates
When I'm not breeding I can be seen in Florida
But when breeding, I'm more common near the Great Lakes.

I have been too busy to get out and photograph lately, so David has been combing through his archives for photos of his that I have not used. The funny thing is, he submitted an almost identical photo to this one, and I thought - wait a minute - that is MY photo. But it wasn't - I found this almost identical photo in my own archive that for some reason I never used. So this is actually one of my photos from Biggest Week in May of this year!
