13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Birds at Play

While hiking on the Mary Ann Furnace trail in Codurus State Park in Pennsylvania I came across an opening where you could see the lake. It was a case of right place, right time because the two birds in the picture were playing in the water, after discovering these birds I sat there for a half an hour waiting for the perfect shot. Luckily, nature decided to be nice and gave me the opportunity to take this picture.
