Semi-palmated Plover
Got up at 4:00 AM Tuesday to get to Sandy Hook by first light. Light on the little plovers was beautiful just after sunrise, but the birds didn't cooperate with good poses and locations. Went off in search of other subjects, and came back several hours later to find this little guy on a low rise. Wish I could have found him two hours earlier.

Very good pose, eye contact and detail. excellent low angle. exposure for light looks good only improvement would be lower light which did not happen. Might crop a little off the rt

We always want softer light but I would take this one in a heartbeat !!! Sweet low angle, good pose and nailed the exposure Might just take a little of the top Bill !!!
Love the low shooting angle - BG rocks - Good Ha and pose.
Sweet!!
This is such a nice image Bill! It's got everything you want in a shorebird shot, really nice pose, low angle, eye contact, head turn and lovely details in the bird.
Bill, are these birds endemic to the US or are they migratory?
looks nice, I'd sharpen more.

Thank you all for the kind words. Here's a repost with a fraction off the top, and a bit of selective sharpening.
Mark, These little guys breed in the Arctic tundra, and migrate to winter grounds along the US Gulf Coast and the South American Atlantic coast (maybe Pacific too?? I saw one in the Galapagos Islands in May). They're just passing through our area now.Originally Posted by Mark Young
Hi Bill, IMO the comp is better balanced in the repost. Techs look good and no nits on my part...good one!
Thanks Dave.
