When waters are still I like trying to shoot reflection photos.  Below are some of my favourite reflections.

Willet & chicks

// September 9th, 2011 // No Comments » // Birds of Manitoba, Oak Hammock Marsh

On an early July visit to Oak Hammock Marsh I came across these three Willet chicks running down a gravel road.  They were not able to fly as yet but the parent Willet was flying overhead keeping watch while I snapped a photo.  I’ve only seen Willets a few times but it was especially nice to see the chicks on this visit.
