Clapper Rails live in the marshes surrounding San Francisco bay; typically they skulk in the pickleweeds and other marsh veggies and only make an appearance when high tides push them to higher ground. In North America, the highest high tides of the year occur during a winter new moon when the earth is closest to the sun and both sun and moon are pulling in the same direction.
This photo was from January's highest tide and I've just now gotten around tom processing it:

Technical stuff: R8/DMR @ ISO 400, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt, shoulder stock & monopod, probably an extension tube. Location is Arrowhead Marsh near the Oakland airport. All comments welcome.
Nice job in getting that close to it, and that framing. Must have taken a lot of work.
