    From the old testament story of David and Goliath. The Israelite shephard David took on a philistine giant with his shephard's sling. The LS is foraging with giant willet behind. Thus the joke.

    Hi David,

    Yes, Willets are a lot bigger than Least Sandpipers :). As for the image, it appears too bright and the crop is too tight by a mile. Had you gone a lot wider and reduced the brightness it would have been a lot better.

    with love, artie
