Nice shot. Very good use of that low winter sunlight. I just missed a close up shot of one at the Edmonds marina two days ago. We get them regularly inside the marina in the winter, but they are usually too far away for a good shot.
 
thanks, Bill... one of these days, i'm gonna have to make it down that way to check out the marsh...

With the tide gate shut and little rain, the marsh is mostly mudflats with little/no avian action. I would wait to visit until after a heavy rain or when the tide gate is opened, whenever that is.

I need to go up your way to check out Spencer Island and Portage Creek county park.
