Like Feathers Floating on Water

While the tide rolled in, the feathers on the sand bar around me floated away and helped to highlight this Willet.  I didn’t want to move with this Willet being so close so I got a little wet as well.  Stayed in place until the water got above my ground pod.  The biggest issue with laying in the salt water is that it streams off of your coat sleeves when you get up and can run all over your camera equipment.  My Lenscoat raincoat helps to keep the gear dry.
