Willet, breeding plumage

Radio Road

This is in full breeding plumage, an early returner from their inland breeding grounds. A few second-year non-breeding birds oversummer at Radio Road, where this picture was taken, but they don't attain full breeding plumage like this. Compare the similarly plumaged adult photographed two weeks earlier on the breeding grounds in the Sierras: http://www.pbase.com/tgrey/image/143827065 .

Canon EOS 1D Mark IV
1/1600s f/11.0 at 700.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
