Limosa limosa
The Black-tailed Godwit is a large wader with long bill (7.5 to 12 cm long), neck and legs. During the breeding season, the bill has a yellowish or orange-pink base and dark tip; the base is pink in winter. The legs are dark grey, brown or black. The sexes are similar, but in breeding plumage, they can be separated by the male's brighter, more extensive orange breast, neck and head. In winter, adult Black-tailed Godwits have a uniform brown-grey breast and upperparts (in contrast to the Bar-tailed Godwit's streaked back). Juveniles have a pale orange wash to the neck and breast

Most people who begin to canoe are trying to keep their balance too much. Let the boot float and relax.
Hehe, yes but floating around in a canoe...
The trick is not to move ;)
Wow i can imagine that... Then it must be difficult not to get shaken photos...
Thank you Jeannette! A lot of the pictures I take of birds in and around the waterline, are taken while canoeing. It is funny to see that birds react very differently when approached from in the water.
Wow, great series :)
