I got many flight shot opportunities of this curlew as it swooped past me for several minutes. Guess I was too close to the nest but it had to be at leasst a hundred yards from me. © Jim Arnold Photography 2009 all rights reserved.

This buck would walk between bunches of grass to keep concealed from me. © Jim Arnold Photography 2009 all rights reserved.
I could just see the baby in the tall grass once in a while. It was definately not coming out for a photo. © Jim Arnold Photography 2009 all rights reserved.
I made what is probably my last visit to the wildlife area this year. There were only a few birds and other wildlife still around. Some baby (more like adolescent) shots and a few larger mammals. I still got a few shots though.
That little Black-necked Stilt is so pretty in the grass with the blue-sky reflection, and the foraging Avocet is adorable! Beautiful photos!!
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the avocet is great with the refection.
ReplyDeleteLucky you being swooped and getting a scoop!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Jim! The baby avocet is really cute.
ReplyDeleteWonderful images, Jim! I especially love the little Stilt, wading through those green grasses and sky-blue waters. Beautiful!
