Date: September 1991
Equipment: Nikon 8008, 400/5.6 & TC14 (= 560/8), tripod

Scan: Minolta Dimage; 100% of image

Commentary: Chincoteague NWR remains one of my all time favorite places for bird photography, and for just spending a relaxing time away from "civilized" pressures. This bird allowed close approach as it soaked up the morning sun beside a parking lot near Tom's Cove.
