As I was photographing birds out in the water at the Brigantine Division of the Edwin B. Forsythe Wildlife Refuge this Willet flew close by me. I managed to get a few images as it went by.

Ah, the Willet – one of those birds you are never quite sure of until they take flight and reveal those white bars. Nice shots – just enough wing movement to give the feel of motion.
Such a beautiful bird… great takes, Reed!
Thanks Eliza! It was fun to photograph! Usually it is hard to photograph smaller birds in flight especially when they just whiz by you without notice!
Excellent capture!
Thanks! I was surprised I got it in focus because it flew by so fast without notice!
Willet? It might. 🙂 NIce shots of this beauty, Reed.
Thanks so much Steve!

Thanks so much! It came out of nowhere so I was surprised I got it in Focus!
