A willet enjoys the temporary ponds and the meals within created by spring rain along the front range while migrating to a more suitable habitat along further north.
Thanks, you are lucky to have these guys around and nesting by you. Someday I would love to get up to PEI and explore as it sure looks beautiful. Hope you have a great weekend.
Nice capture! 🙂

Well done! These skittery, well camouflaged shore birds nest in a marshy backwater across, and 400m upriver’ from where I live. (Vernon Bridge,PEI)
