This Snowy was perched on an abandoned hunter's blind at low tide on a river tide mud flat. The blind is used for hunting Snow Geese during their migration run.

Late afternoon shot, therefore my balancing for white may be a touch too much for my liking.

Canon 5D Mark III with my 500L f4 lens handheld at 1/1000, f8, ISO 400, no exposure compensation. Cropped in for composition purposes. Two annoying and out-of-place plastic tie-wrap ends cloned away.

Thanks to my friend Joël who pushed me to go on and on despite my aching knees to reach the Snowy to get this shot. Merci!

Cheers,

Mike
