Photographed last Sunday at South Beach in Chatham MA under very windy and foggy conditions. This guy took us away from their nest area and then stayed still for a couple of grabs before heading back to the nest.

Very nice photo John! I like the grass on the left; it acts as a natural frame for your subject. Thanks for posting!
I agree with Doug that the grass is a plus. The pose is good, the bird is sharp, and I like the way the ridge-top view gives separation from the background. My only nit is that the bird looks a bit too contrasty, for my taste, given the foggy conditions you experienced.
Great setting and details despite the fog. I like the grass and eye contact and decrease contrast and/or brightness a tad.
