Bird in the grasses

Thanks to Tom and Hank for identifying this whimbrel, seen while touring the Cape May marshlands on the Osprey.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Refuge for spiders, posted earlier:

1/1000s f/7.1 at 400.0mm iso250 full exif
