I captured this image last month at Ft. Desoto County Park in Pinellas County, Florida. I enjoy watching these birds as they chase the receding waves and run away from the waves pushing towards the shore. Almost constant motion like a wind up toy with legs moving constantly. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Somehow I missed this shot being posted. Like this one Joseph. Good feeding pose and the ripples in the water are very cool. Colors on the bird are very nice. Not over saturated and look great.
