This adult Semipalmated Sandpiper was photographed at Heislerville, NJ with the Canon 800mm f.5.6L IS lens, the 1.4X II TC, and the EOS-1D MIV. ISO 500. Evaluative Metering +1/3 stop set manually: 1/640 sec. at f/9.
Denise and I were being devoured by 1000s of no-see-ums and when they drove us away, I fell over backwards while trying to climb a steep bank. I fell about four feet one way, and my 800 went four feet in a slightly different direction. Both of our falls were broken by dense phragmites and it and I were unscathed. :)
