Hey gang! I processed this one on my Mac book Pro with Retina display, not sure if it looks correct color or sharpness wise. Taken in NJ near Sandy Hook, I couldn't get out on the Hook due to the damage from Sandy.
All of Gateway is close and you can get updates from the NPS Facebook page:

All of gateway is closed and it looks like it will be some time till we can get back to our favorite places. One of my favorite places to shoot at Jamaica Bay was breached:
Photo from Gateway National Recreation Area by the NPS survey team showing a breach at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge west pond. This breach is about 50' across. The Refuge is closed to visitors. The photo is the location we call the runway, a wonderful place to take flight photos.
The Statue of Liberty and Fire Island took a beating.
This is one pretty picture, Chad.
Great pose and fine detail on the bird.
Of course 'tis the flowers that really make this ''as pretty as a picture''!
