While kayaking on the Fox River in northern Illinois, I stopped to photograph some Yellowlegs - but then I noticed this little guy just upstream from me. I slowly made my way up to the bird, which relaxed in my presence after about 10 minutes. In fact, the little guy fell asleep for the rest of the time that I was shooting.
Once the bird was asleep I was able to take the tripod off the deck of my kayak and plant it in the mud for several more pictures. I believe it's a snipe, but not certain. Only other possibility seems to be a woodcock. Canon 10D / 100-400 @ 400mm / handheld / 1/400sec @ f7.1 Comments and suggestions are welcome. EDIT - I cloned out the dropping and did a little more with USM since the original post. - Clinton Smith Vernon Hills, IL Last edited by Clinton Smith on Sun Oct 26, 2003 9:56 pm, edited 1 time in total. |
