Banded Piping Plover (with Certificate!)

[Dorian Anderson]

I present this more for fun than critique.

Got this guy/gal right at sunset, again on the Texas Coast last week. The photographer in me hates banded birds because of human interference, but the birder in me loves them
because it's fun to report the band and see where the bird was initially captured!

I've attached the certificate below.

I also have a good collection of certificates on my website: https://www.dorianandersonphotography.com/Banded-Birds/

Canon 600mm f/4 IS II + 1.4x III on EOS R5

Nice shot but I feel a little underexposed.

Great light, I also like the certificate! The exposure looks good to my eyes.

Cool! Artistically I'm not a huge fan of bands but the birder in me loves the origins and whereabouts due to the data collected (hey, just like you!). Interesting to note the Canadian Wildlife Service affiliation.
