When I saw this Willet walking toward me on the beach in Grand Isle, Louisiana, with the feathers ruffled a bit from the breeze, I immediately thought of a model on a runway, strutting her stuff. Male and female Willets have similar plumage so I don’t have any idea whether this is a “she” but “she” looks like a runway model to me. I love being able to get this perspective of a bird on the beach by laying on the sand with my camera and telephoto lens on a panning plate inside a Frisbee. The same image taken from a tripod, only a few feet higher, would not have been at all the same.
