This image created during our June trip. Long-billed curlew.

Classic stance and expression, and the beautiful, delicate color and detail in the surrounding grasses really showcase the bird. I think the decision to leave the subject centered in the frame was a good one.

This is one of the nicest avian photographs I've ever seen, Larry. The soft light and resulting color, and your selective focus makes this really special. Congratulations on a great shot! :toast:

Nice shot. Unusual to see one out of the water.
