In rain at day’s end

Willets descend from above

Feels like a blessing.

I think that I counted 54 Willets.  I was alone out at a reservoir…in the pouring rain… on Saturday at the end of “the big day” where we were trying to get as many different species in the county as possible. There were a number of birders involved and we ended up getting a total of 151 different species.  Exhausting day.
