Taken at Ft Desoto on day 4 (or was it 5?) of my trip. Thanks to Marina for the helpful tips about the NorthShore. It turned out to be filled with great shorebirds, including a pair of Short-billed Dowitchers which were a lifer for me.
Big mistake on this image ... it was about 2.5 stops overexposed. I was shooting a willet that was in the shade when I was informed of this guy coming in from my right. Not enough brains to change the exposure, so this capture came in HOT. IT was toned down in LR, but the colors remained overly saturated. Brought them down as well. As I've never seen one of these guys coming in for a landing, I would appreciate insight on the color of the wings.
Shooting Info:
Nikon D800 | 500 f/4 VR +1.4x
1/800 | f/8 | ISO 2500
