Willet

Last couple of weekends have been hit and miss shooting-wise but when i have gotten out shorebirds have been my focus, too bad i haven't had much luck.
hopefully things will pick up bird-wise soon and hopefully i'll shake off this work-related weariness, sure i have a bird photo trip lined up in October that will hopefully be amazing but that's still a long way away, need to get back in the swing of things.


Spent some time with the Tsawassen Willet the other day, was nice to get some decent light and a cooperative bird.
Been paying visits to this bird for years now, always fascinates me how it comes back to the same stretch of beach every year.

Thought it would be neat to compile some of the other shots of this bird we have on file, for some reason we dipped on it in 2009 but did get one in Texas later that year.
