Taken yesterday at Squaw Creek NWR in Missouri. The weather was AWFUL with winds gusting to over 30 mph :x , but the birds made it worth it :D ! You can see the foam kicked up where this guy was hunting for a late lunch. Thanks for looking and comments welcome!!

Nice catch of this master of camouflage! Just a little dark on my monitor and fill flash would have helped lift the image and light the eye, but nice as is. 8) :)

Yep....a little flash would have helped. However....any snipe out like this one is a good catch.

Not an easy bird to get in front of a lens. A little soft and in need of some flash, but a nice image.

The flash and sharpness have been already covered. Nice shot.

Nice image!
A little flash would make the bird pop.
