I’ve been trying to make good images of Limpkins in flight over at least the last year.  There are certainly enough Limpkins at the Circle B Bar Reserve that you would think this would be easy.  Except the silly Limpkins are very fond of giving me butt shots.  As soon as I get ready for flight shots, they start flying — away from me!  So I was very excited to see a couple of them fly parallel to me yesterday morning.  I was standing on the Heron Hideout trail, looking out over the marsh in sweet morning light.  That’s a great place for flight shots, especially when the birds are close.  This one wasn’t, but that’s what cropping is for!  I still wouldn’t mind if the Limpkins would cooperate and give me more opportunities like this… :)
