You are Correct E!
It is a Willet.
Good Capture, it looks exactly like the Pic in my Big Book of Birds.LOL. Do you take Photos for them? LOL. You Could!
Thanks for sharing....now where's that Killer Sunset? LOL.
This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
So good Elizabeth. I think EJ is right about you taking the photo for the book. I googled to see what it was. It says the male and female look alike but the female is somewhat larger. Guess this is the male looking for supper. Great shot.
So cool, your dof isolates the bird nicely from the water in the background but also allows us to see how the birds colouring serves as camouflage on that same water. Lovely and sharp AND your subject is off centred for balance. Sweet wildlife shot Elizabeth!
