Black-tailed Godwit
I spotted this bird on a quick stop at the local patch before work this morning, the lighting was bad and I didn't get a decent shot of him. So I stopped by again after work, waited a bit and he showed again. I have dozens of shots of him with his face plowed deep into the water, he must have been quite hungry, a "frenzied feeder" very active. I finally got him when he paused to swallow a tasty morsel! My first decent shot of this species!
