Godwit in Early Light

Gallery: AvianPosted August 7, 2011155 views7 comments

An image from last October in Gulfport. We had a pretty cooperative group of MG's that came though here last fall, and I hope to see more pretty soon, it's probably my favorite shore bird. I wish that the water had been a bit calmer, but I still liked the stride and pose. Larger image included.

Gorgeous light ! Excellent pose and eye, love the raised foot, and the water and BG make this just about perfect!
Very well-done!
