Bar-Tailed Godwit Flies Over Misty Mudflats

by Caitlin Logan

Silvery winter light cuts through thick predawn mist, revealing a bar-tailed godwit suspended mid-flight over a wet, dark mudflat. The bird's long, slightly upturned bill and mottled brown plumage stand out against the gray haze. Below, the tidal flats glisten with shallow pools reflecting the pale sky, their surfaces rippled by a gentle breeze. The horizon line sits low, placing the bird in the upper third of the frame. Distant, indistinct shapes of reeds or low vegetation fade into the fog. Moisture hangs heavy in the air, softening the background details into a diffuse gray wash. One droplet rests on the tip of a nearby grass blade in the foreground.
