Clapper Rails live in the marshes surrounding San Francisco bay; typically
they skulk in the pickleweeds and other marsh veggies and  
only make an appearance when high tides push them to higher ground.   
In North America, the highest high tides of the year occur during a winter
new moon when the earth is closest to the sun and both sun and moon are
pulling in the same direction.

This photo was from January's highest tide and I've just now gotten around
tom processing it:

Technical stuff: R8/DMR @ ISO 400, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt, shoulder stock &
monopod, probably an extension tube.  Location is Arrowhead Marsh near the
Oakland airport.  All comments welcome.
