Another plus from my Florida trip was photographing birds that I only usually see from up-close back home during fall migration, but this time with breeding plumages. With the Semipalmted Plover, for example, I had only previously ever seen them as juveniles or winter plumaged individuals. I was rather happy to see some with their fresh breeding feathers:). This photo taken at Ft. Desoto's North Beach. This plover luckily stopped beside a washed-up seaweed...the added greenery is a bonus in my eyes!
Canon 40D + 100-400L @400mm, manual, 1/800s., f/7.1, ISO400, -0.3 EC, fill @ -0.7FEC, handheld lying flat on beach, ~80% full-frame.
