Friends, these wading birds have invaded Crex in the last day or two, I think they are yellowlegs, a type of Sandpiper.  I love the feather patterns and have waited for them to creep within range of my telephoto, could use more telephoto length for these guys, but attached the 1.4x extender and practiced focusing manually. What a workout, even tho it was a cooler day, i was soaked from the exertion. The sun peeked out briefly for this shot but most of the day was bathed in misty sunshine.  I like his reflection. til Tomorrow MJ
