Purple Sandpiper

[Jasper Doest]

It seems seems like yesterday that I photographed this Purple Sandpiper...but looking at the EXIF tells me that it was photographed nearly a year ago. Time really flies when you have fun, doesn't it? Anyway....it also tells me that I should be taking a look there again soon to see if they've already arrived. See you out in the field!

Exceptional image of this species. I love how you can actually see the purple!

Very nice, Jasper! No nits from me.

[Jody Melanson]

I love the contrast between the foreground and background. I also like the eye contact from the subject. But he's not in flight! ;)

This is very nice Jasper, I like the environment type of image.

Almost missed this one ;)
Very nice shot Jasper. I guess this year I can manage the travel to NL to make some nice shots of it.
