Hi all, 

Biked and photographed along the Salt Marsh Trail trail for the first time today. What a nice spot, and plan to return to do some more shooting, and birding in the near future. 

Biked by a Willet 10~ft away on top of a bush which is by far the closest ever getting to one. Broke out the camera, and gradually worked to about 15~ ft from it resulting in some nice full frame images. It would fly off, and keep returning to the same spot making me wonder if it was nesting there. Nice plumage, and lots of other birds and sights along the trail today. Nice to get out after the rainy days. 

Have uploaded 2 images of it to my Flickr site for anyone interested :
