Marbled Godwit

I don't do a lot of flat-light shooting because I'm such a huge fan of color saturation, but I had the time and inkling to try something different at my local shorebird spot on this April day. The action started slow, but the sun broke through the clouds late in the afternoon to imbue this bird with some nice end-of-day color. Marbled Godwits are one of my favorite local subjects, so it's only appropriate that I include one in this years 'favorites' as I did in 2017 and 2018.
