I decided that my 1,000th post had to be an image in the Bird section, and I knew it had to be somewhat special. But I had no idea that I would get shots of a Ruff (a Eurasian shorebird species) here in Oregon. It was a lifer for me, and I was fortunate enough that the bird walked within my minimum focusing distance multiple times for around 20 minutes. Too bad it wasn't a male

Enjoy!

And one of the Lesser Yellowlegs it was hanging out with.

Great images, they have a pastel look to me which is very pleasing to the eye. Love the DOF, background, subdued light etc etc
