Greater Yellowlegs, Wells National Estuarine Research Center at Laudholm Farm, Wells ME

As I have mentioned, we are well into fall migration here in Maine, as least as far as shore-birds go. This Greater Yellowlegs was posing on its log in the pond behind the dunes at Laudholm Farm (Wells National Estuarine Research Center). This is one of those shots only possible with the Nikon P900 (or a digiscoping rig). The bird was well off-shore.

Uncropped. Nikon P900 at 2800mm equivalent (2000 optical plus some Perfect Image digital zoom). 1/500th @ ISO 140 @ f6.5. Processed in Lightroom.
