These guys were pretty elusive until low tide when they started creeping around the edge of the marsh and making quite a bit of noise. I was only able to get about 20-30 shots so I am still weeding out the ones I don't like.

I've never seen them go far from tall shrubs or grass. Great detail Scott

It is rare to see them out in the open like that. Congrats on finding them out in the open and doing such a fine job in him

Wonderful shot, Tree.

I'd consider reducing the cyan a tad. Think it would make it even better.
