Yes, it's another bird....

The details: Two weeks ago, I decided to quit my job and take a week off before the new one starts (my wife says I change job more often than I change underwear...). The first day off (Monday) I decided to wander around the lake and photograph the wildlife. What a day! Two kingfishers were buzzing around catching fish. A sandpiper-like bird was running around a mud flat, a great blue heron stopped in for some fishing. And about four or five green herons joined the fray along with wood ducks, mallards, tons of other birds and the ubiquitous Canada geese. Sadly, all were way out of range of my 300mm w/1.4x TC (except the geese and mallards, but I'm sick of them). I have about 90 pictures with 95% showing little dots that are birds... I thought I could crop them but the detail was lost. However, the little guy in this week's PAW landed close enough to get some good shots.
shot with the D, Sigma AF 300mm F4 APO Macro and Sigma EX 1.4x TC mounted on a tripod. ISO 200, F5.6 @1/160. Shot RAW and converted to TIFF with Pentax PhotoLab. Slight crop and sharpening in PS 7.0.
