    It's been a while since my last post.
    Good to be back.
    I got this a couple of weeks ago at
    the southern tip of Plum Island, MA.
    Comments appreciated.

    Ilija - this is really something. I only wish that the left-most plover weren't there. Otherwise, it's great

    I liked the pattern formed. You did reasonably well in getting most of them in focus. I have never seen the flock of Semipalmated Plovers in flight. TFS

    A super capture of a pretty rare sight. The plovers show up very well against this BG. I understand Miguel's point but feel it's a pretty strong image even with the front OOF bird.
