    Default Juvenile red knot

    This shot is from the other day - same session as the semipalmated plover I posted a couple of days ago.

    Whew. That is one fresh juvenile. I like the light and love the bird and the fresh plumage. I like the BKGR reeds. And the HA. Overall it could go lighter. The leaf blocking the front foot is the biggest problem and the stuff he is standing on is less than ideal.

    Can you describe the location and the habitat please?

    Lovely image, one of my favorite birds...
    I like the surroundings, light angle, colors and HA
    I would clone the brownish part in the upper BG

    I shot this at the southern end of Plum Island. The tide had started to go out and there is a pool of water formed. In this area there is debris brought in by the tide. Besides the natural products one often sees toys, sandals, all sorts of junk. Many images taken here need these things cloned out.
    The red knot is standing in a patch of some weed.

    Thanks Alan. Is Plum Island MASS? I just wanted to make sure that it was not fresh water.
