It was great to see this species on their breeding territory. They are so animated with their display and flight calls. They seem like a diffenert species to the ones I see in migration on the Upper Texas Coast. In this image you have the bird with it's tail cocked, wings up and calling on the fresh tundra that just thawed out.

What a great image. I like the browns and yellows. The bird's position is very engaging and dynamic. I might take a bit off the right to make the bird a bit less centered but this is a minor nit and my own personal taste. I would hang this on my wall,
