Least Sandpiper Daring Anyone To Cross The Line...
Fun times lying in the mud and shallow water. We're right smack-dab in the middle of my favorite time of year for bird photography...fall shorebird migration! Here's a fun one created a couple of weeks ago of a juvenile Least Sandpiper finishing off a post-preen shake. I usually have a tough time liking "shake" poses, but this one passed the test
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/500s., f/8, ISO 1600, natural light, handheld, about 80% FF, a few small spots removed from the water but otherwise quite a clean setting. NR to the reflections.

Another from the master of uncomfortable photography! Love the juxtaposition of the bird and reeds and the overall smooth colors. A pity that the eyes are nearly invisible.
Lovely bird and soft light. Bummer that the grasses were so ratty. It needs a bit of CCW rotation ...
