Willet (Eastern) - Duxbury Beach, MA - July 10, 2010

When being aggressive the Willets fly straight at you - coming in low over the grass and then veering off at the last minute - usually they are calling at the same time. Very formidable! After they fly by, they usually rise up and circle back to make another pass. They haven't figured out the technique of coming out of the sun like fighter pilots do, but then their mission is to scare you and so they need to be seen.
