At high tide the marsh birds that normally skulk in the vegetation are pushed into the open:

Thanks all for your kind words. This was made in January during the highest high tide of the winter; at this time the rails go to the highest part of the marsh, which at Arrowhead Marsh happens to be next to a boardwalk trail. During the previous winter's highest high tide the rails even sought refuge ON the boardwalk trail.

 

Something has happened to the image. It's missing. Was this via a weblink?

 

Andy, yes it's a weblink. The URL is http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/rallidae/clra02.jpg

Doug,

your photos are really great. Moreover I love Telyt 560mm and would like use it one day.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Your web site ask for user ID and password when clicking over camera and lens (found below the photo). Does it require a subscription?

 

Flavio
