Theme- Black necked stilt
Found these at a water treatment plant here in Memphis. First time ever seeing one and definitely first time photographing one. It was overcast all morning until right before this shot--had to make some quick adjustments and got lucky on this one. These little guys are difficult to shoot in flight because they're small, quick, and a little erratic. Had some trouble autofocusing with my TC 1.4 (especially while it was overcast) but the extra reach was a necessity, I always think about the ones I miss more than the ones I get. All C&C's are welcome-- I'm still new here and have really appreciated all the critiques, please keep them coming!
