Sleeping WilletSleeping Willet – Nikon D200, handheld, f7.1, 1/640, ISO 200, Nikkor 70-300mm VR at 300mm, natural light

I know this image sort of breaks the rules of bird photography because the eyes of my subject are closed but personally I don’t mind that they are. Sometimes the rules are made to be broken.

This sleeping Willet image remains one of my favorite images because it was so comfortable in my presence that it fell asleep. I was honored.

Life is good.
