Marbled Godwit (Limosa fedoa): (LIfer for me):

The light was incredibly harsh at around 11am, so the photo is so-so, but it is a lifer, so I am thrilled regardless!

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.
