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.
