The pond I have been going to for shorebirds is drying up with the result that the tiny fish are being concentrated in smaller areas. This has proven to be a bonanza for a group of greater yellowlegs. This was taken yesterday evening as the sun was about to disappear.

Nice action shot, Bob. I wish for a place like that as the water level is very high this year around here.
