Several times each year the Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge, a 35 minute drive from home, has "Open Road Days." They open the gate to a large road loop through the refuge that is normally closed to allow the wildlife to live in peace. The Missus and I were there at 7am when the gate was opened.
This greater yellowlegs placed itself nicely to be framed by the tall grasses on the banks of the marsh.
