A different kind of image than I usually post. Typically I like perfect morning or evening light but was very happy with how this came. This American Woodcock was from Clove Lakes Park on Staten Island a few days ago. Photo taken shortly before sun down and well after the sun had gone behind the trees. This really shows where these birds spend most of their time.
