Black Skimmer with Peep Escort

[Bill Dix]

Here's one from Brigantine in 2017. I'm guessing that a Bald Eagle or Peregrine Falcon scared up all of the shorebirds at once, and I was in a position to capture just a portion of the group as they flew by. (I may have posted another frame from this sequence at the time.)

D500, Sigma 150-600C @ 230mm, ISO 800, 1/2500s @ f/8 manual.

Pretty neat frame. The skimmer gives some scale to the shorebirds. Nice setting.

Great frame Bill and the shorebirds make this image pop. TFS

Fun to see the underside of every bird! All subjects are nice and sharp, and the image had really nice contrast.

Neat flight image, birds really pop against the nice BG.

Very nicely captured, Bill. Wonderful rich quality.
