Juvenile Least and White-rumped sandpipers in Wolfville, NS recently. D7000, 300 f/4 AF-S + 1.7TC.
1/800, f/7.1, ISO auto at 1250 (hand-held, so I wanted the high shutter speed).
I would like to have got lower, but the birds were halfway down a cliff and would have flown if I had attempted to do so. I would like to have seen more of the Least's legs and no overlap of the tail. Also perhaps better head angle on the Least. However, I liked the background and the birds' plumage, and didn't have to crop too much, and overall I thought it was quite a good image, so I thought I would post it for any other comments.
