Michael, Beautiful details and exposure. The plover is sharp and I like the walking pose. Nice to capture the mouth open w/ the meal. Very nicely done.
Nicely done. Looks like a sand crab meal. Note the vestigial hind toe that is absent in American Golden-Plover. I would have liked to have seen this a bit wider to give the shells on the left some room.

Great capture of this moment, I like the sharpness, angle and head angle and agree on a slightly wider crop and would tone down the highlights at the lower back.
Pretty cool feeding behaviour captured, and I love the tongue keeping the morsel tight in the mouth! I agree with the suggestions already offered, and would add that the pupil could go blacker.
Black-bellied Plover
