Fairly simple to replace the perch of course, if desired.

In the summer some Willets migrate inland to the marshes of the Sierra Valley, along California highway 89 between Truckee and Quincy in the Sierra Nevada: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/scolopacidae/will00.html I'm not fond of the bird's perch but otherwise I like this picture. Technical stuff: R8/DMR, 560mm f/6.8, shoulder stock & monopod. All comments welcome.
