This is one of the more bizarre moments I've seen in my 50+ years of wildlife photography. It happened at Oakland Lake on Friday while both were walking on the ice and slipped at the same time raising there wings to balance.

So you think you can dance, dance, dance! See Morris, just when you think you've seen it all, Mother Nature provides for something totally unexpected.

Now see, if that butterfly in South America hadn't landed on that flower, you would not have been at Oakland and this never would have happened Morris...

But as it was, awesome capture! I bet we'll never see it again.

Nice job Morris; thanks for posting.
