Hoopoe Fanning Crest on Fence Post After Rain

by Ann Burgess

Raindrops rest on the black and white striped crest of a Eurasian hoopoe perched atop a weathered wooden fence post. The bird spreads its fan-like feathers wide, revealing the dark tips against the soft gray sky. Below, green reeds from the nearby Toyama wetland stand saturated and heavy with water, their tips drooping slightly. The low angle emphasizes the bird's alert posture as it scans the reed bed. Soft, diffused light from the overcast sky reflects off the wet wood grain and the glossy feathers. Rain continues to fall in steady, visible streaks, blurring the background reeds into a vertical wash of muted greens and browns. One water droplet hangs from the tip of the lowest feather, poised to fall.
