Aunque no lo parezca por la parte fotografiada, es un restaurante, y se come bastante bien por cierto.
This little guy has been putting on a daily show, super close, right off the boardwalk where you cross over the water at Dixon Meadows Preserve, PA. I hung around through the short rain shower to get him in the open and showing its feet.

Aesthetic opposite - I always spend time staring at your photos and pondering what inspired them. What whimsical, deliciously disturbing army of elves and goblings parsed them together and dusted them with shine? What is exactly goes on in the mind that conceived them?
May the #RBF never morph into something more benevolent or worse, saccharine - it would be a grave loss to the ranks.
Merci (Vilmal!) du fond du coeur d'avoir ete si gentil.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
Nothing like waiting, waiting and more waiting for one little bird to make an appearance. This little guy swam from one side of a small opening. Just enough time to get two shots off. One failed.

The water level in Horsepen Bayou has remained unseasonably high for the past month or so, delaying the arrival of many of the peeps and other shorebirds that should be working the mudflats by now. An exception is a group of Soras skulking in a small lagoon in an island near the confluence with Armand Bayou. The lagoon is a favorite hideout for Soras and teals during fall and winter, typically when the water is too low for me to enter, even in my shallow-draft kayak. So I have been taking advantage of the unexpected access during recent visits where I have had as many as six of the secretive birds in view at the same time, some less than 10 feet away. Lemonade, I guess, in a somewhat lemony early fall.

The best time to see a Sora is early in the morning or late in the evening, when they are more likely to venture out of the dense vegetation to look for food. Listen for the characteristic whinny, which they give more frequently during migration and the breeding season (April–July) to know if you are in the right spot. Once you've heard a Sora, to maximize your chances of seeing one, look for an area with a clear view along a stretch of wetland with muddy edges.
