Excellent shot of this big wader. I've seen a few, none close enough to photograph.

Excellent capture of this heron. Interesting gesture and setting!

they are skittish and flee quickly...good catch...the open mouth suggests it might be squawking at the moment..

Very nice capture of your first of the year! I find them to be hard to get close to..
