This intentional hopefully pleasing blur was created at Nickerson Beach this morning with the Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS lens and my new EOS-1DX. ISO 50: exposure determined by histogram check was about +2/3: 1/15 sec. at f/29.
Don't be shy; all comments are welcome.
On to the ageing. Most of the birds are worn, molting adults; some still have some rusty feathers on the throat. But there are a good number in full winter (basic) plumage--those are the totally grey ones. There is a pretty good view of at least one bird in fairly fresh juvenal plumage. Can you find it? There are hints of two more juvies as well.
But here is the fun question: there is a single bird that is NOT a Sanderling. Can anyone find that one??? Determine its identity?
You can see the next keeper in the series in OOTB here; it looks nothing at all like this image.

I do miss my shore birds, but unfortunately dont live anywhere near the sea.
