This Baird's Sandpiper was only the second record we have had on Staten Island. It was hanging out on the beach at Great Kills Park. I went late in the evening to try and get some photos of it. Got many but most were on very cluttered parts of the beach. This was my favorite with a mostly clear background.

Hi Isaac, love the low angle here, and you certainly made the most of the soft late light. You have captured good feather detail overall sharp, and the complimentary colour to the BG works well.
Nice! Great low angle and textbook profile pose. Perfect techs. If mine I'd likely toned down or blend out the oof circle area in URC. Congrats on seeing this individual, and beautifully photographing it!
Yes, a great shot: lovely tones, colour, detail, light and POV. Nice background to round it off and good pose and composition. What's not to like here? Thanks for sharing.
