Clapper Rail

I was surprised yesterday evening to see this clapper come out of the reeds in the salt marsh at low tide.
At one point it took a little swim toward me in the shallow water.
This is one of a series of six pics from last night.

Nice capture. That is a tough to get a good shot of these birds, I know. Would like to see the rest

Great shot in great light and with an Audubon-style pose.

Great shot Phil. The light really makes that eye pop and an interesting pose too.

Thanks Steve. I had some luck with the sunset light and was happy the bird came out in the open for me.
