This image was made last Spring. This was the first time I had the pleasure of seeing Dunlins. I loved the challenge these fast little speedsters provided for flight images. I got down as low as I could and would fire as they came in towards the shoreline.

Very impressive to get these guys in flight. Well done!

Great wing shape and BG, a bit eye contact would have put it over the top for me.

[Art Peslak]

This so cool getting a flying dunlin head on that is this sharp.

[Jay Tan]

Head on flight shots are always favorites of mine. I love the BG here!

[John Ippolito]

Outstanding head-on, especially for this bird!

Thank you Artie, I use the 400/5.6. Focus speed coupled with the 1D2N is instantaneous.
