Oh, the beautiful portraiture of an American Woodcock I might have captured had I only noticed it at the time. When will such an opportunity ever present itself again? I must have thought it a clump of leaves or dirt. Still, it's far more fun I didn't notice! Birds rule. It wasn't until later in the afternoon when inadvertently flushing the woodcock I became aware of it, not knowing I had already documented its presence hours earlier.
