    Willet

    This common shorebird looks uniformly drab gray in non-breeding plumage until it spreads its wings offering a very different appearance. The Willet is a strictly North American breeding bird with two populations. This is the larger "Western Willet" which breeds inland in the Great Basin and...

  6. Sharing

    Sharing

    Mostly the waders along the Bay Trail sort themselves into flocks-of-a-feather, but these two were sharing a rock quite amicably as they waited for the tide to go out.

    until they lift their wings. I left Martinez early the next morning, ran errands in Berkeley, met up briefly with my niece and her two kids, then drove to my hotel near the SF Airport. I arrived early enough that I could take a long pre-dinner walk along the Bay Trail. Mostly just the usual...

    or maybe "Where'd everybody go?!?" Because while this guy was taking his bath, all the other Willets had left the area. And once he was done, so did I.

    Finally the view I was waiting for. Those wings are quite flashy for an otherwise bland, grey bird.

    He was certainly doing a thorough job of bathing. I've picked out 9 from an even longer series. Stood there watching for quite some time hoping he'd flash his black-and-white wings.

    These were among the last shots I took that day. The tide was back in and the waders were resting elsewhere ... aside from this one Willet who was having a bath. But there is more to come after the bathing Willet series. I did see more birds. I've just fast forwarded to this guy for the sake of...

    SF1 - Bathing ... ehm, beauty?

    Almost Saturday, so here comes the beginning of a 9-part series of bathing Willet shots. I didn't even recognize this one as a Willet at first. Not with that bushy crew-cut "hairdo".

    Taken at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline at about 7m. Same bird and relative distance as this shot from my Sony RX100 Mk III, this shot (reduced to 25% size) shows how much closer I can get with the SX60.
