This was taken in Nome with Matthew Studebaker. Thanks to Matthew, we were able to locate and work with this beautiful Snipe. The pair responded to the call and put up a very interesting show for us. It was fun to watch and photograph them. I just reprocessed it as I am reorganizing my photos. Hope this wasn't posted here before.

Canon Mark IV | Canon 800mm | f/6.3 | 1/400 | ISO 400
Cropped about 20%, minimal post processing using LR5 and CS6

Thanks for looking. your comments are always welcome.

Awesome! I love the low angle and distant background. Nice to go where there are no fence posts for these guys to sit on.
Thanks for looking,

Great setting. Love the upturned tail. Very nice.
You cannot save time, you can only spend it wisely, or perhaps, freeze a moment of it forever in a photograph
