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.
