Cook Inlet has one of the highest tidal fluctuations in the world. With a full moon tomorrow there was 27.7 foot tide this evening at 7:48 PM. I have been trying for over a year to photograph Godwits close to shore. I was finally successful this evening, by going down to the Inlet just before high tide. I shot 186 pictures. A few of the pictures were acceptable, even though the light was a problem. It was difficult to avoid back lighted shots, from the sun low in the sky. Sun set this evening was at 10:50 PM.
