I Went back to the storm ravaged beach Sunday morning. There were 6 pp that I saw, one of which was sitting on a nest. There is still hope for a crop of youngsters this year.
This guy was bathing. I watched it for 5 minutes. I liked this shot the best.
D600 with 600 VR and 1.4 tc - 1/500 at f/8 - iso 250.
Very nice light and and I like the sand and water merge on the right.
I would rotate image clockwise very slightly.
Soft pastel blues of the water are lovely,

Thanks for all the comments. I do not want to add more sharpening on the head. I did add a bit already and think it is enough.
I rotated the image based on the bird but now realize I should have done so based on the land. Some may say this is obvious, but the puddle was in an area of sand sloping down towards the water.
Allen little late but love the light and bathing pose here...If we look at bird it looks fine but if you look at the overall image it requires slight rotation as suggested by Gail. I usually try and find balance in such scenarios. Well done.
Bathing piping plover
