Sometimes the water is so smooth that there is little distortion to the reflection of a wading bird. In this case, the reflection mirrors the bird almost perfectly. With so many birds coming and going on the ponds and with the occasional stiff breeze, most of the reflections I captured created zigzag images or unrecognizable blobs. When I saw this stilt slowly stalking something under the surface with a good reflection, it caught my attention so I pressed the shutter release before it got too close to other birds that would disrupt the clear reflection.
