This Lady Eider was waving “Goodnight” to the sun when I walked past her along the shore tonight at Bank Street.
Goodnight, Sun – Day 36

The sundown moments I had with this (my very first) Greater Scaup this past week were some of the most special of my short time photographing wildlife.
There are no words to describe what it feels like to be crouching down…
Waiting for a bird to relax, as I relax.
It’s almost a meditation, requiring focus, patience — and good knees! 😉
