    Default Semipalmated March

    Another small in the frame shot ... something that I started to enjoy as I waited for the small shorebirds to get closer. In this case, it's a semipalmated plover marching his way over in my direction. I wish I had been a bit higher to get the other foot in the frame, but I took what I got!

    Shooting info:
    Nikon D800 | 500 f/4 VR
    1/1600 | f/5.6 | ISO 640

    The open beak looks so funny! Made me smile.
    I agree with your self assessment that this would be better with the other foot showing.
    I would take a bit more off the RHS. IQ and techs are good.
    I like your other shot better,
    Gail

    hahahaha.....love it ! Easy to see how the term " Goose Step " came about. Small in frame works well on this one...obviously all the other birds gave this little hot tempered bird a wide berth.

    I really like how you captured a bit of personality here, Miguel. And I like the space you give him. I agree on how other foot showing would be better. But still a neat frame.
