That is one big, dirty foot spraying mud. Looks like he likes it that way.

  It’s funny and true! That is one big muddy foot there and he appears quite pleased about the whole situation.

  Considering they are not really huge birds at all, they sure do have some BIG feet! 🙂

He’s definitely beady-eyed as he’s scanning. Love that high step. Nice reflection, too.
