The Lilly Pads have been thick this season, but the last couple weeks it has been cooling off and the pads have been slowly thinning. I went out this week a couple times in the evening because the Soras finally came out and I had a few more welcoming surprises. The light was a little harsh earlier, but as the evening progressed the dusk golden light made up for it.

Enjoy,

Great set. The killdeer is the winner imho ! Is that a juv. sora? Very interesting plumage. And are these taken in the Pacific NW?

Eft,
You got that right, it is a Sora and also taken in the Pacific NW, the Sora's came out late this season, normally come out earlier. The Killdeer was also a joy to photograph, Thank you for your comments.
