Nothing in Life Comes Free
I finally had one of those days at Barnegat Light that everyone dreams of. The weather was good, the light was perfect, and there was tons of bird activity! However, those infamous rocks that make the jetty soon made me realize that I would have to earn every shot. While clambering down the algae-covered rocks, I nearly slid into the drink on numerous occasions, only saving myself by finding a small foothold or handhold to stop my slide. I was also soaked by massive waves several times, camera and all. The jetty made me cold, miserable, and bloody, but it rewarded me with an unforgettable day and shots like this. I'd do it all over in a heartbeat.
The star-attraction of Barnegat Light, the charismatic Harlequin Duck (Histrionicus histrionicus).
