This tiny bird is amazing; it nests in the Arctic and migrates as far south as Tierra del Fuego in the winter.
If viewed full size, the image on your monitor is larger than the bird in real-life!
The thin shadow on the breast isn't ideal, but I had to go low to position the bird above the breaking waves (white) in the BG.
Went down to f/11 to maximize DOF across the mussels.
