First it was the stuffed hummingbirds and now it is bird baiting. Is there nothing you Calif. bird photographers won't do to get a picture?

Yea, that's how these guys take off to fly . I figure if at least one foot is off the water it qualifies as flight.Didn't you mean to post that in "Post your Birds Running On the Water" Pete?
Nice shot.
