Piping Plover

[Bob Malbon]

Piping Plover hoping for Spring - still cold here on the Maine coast. Watched this Guy (I think) do some mating flights around the nesting area. Then he settled in a spot between me and female. Feeding and calling. The nesting area has had a great build up of sand this Winter. These PPs are endangered here on the East Coast so there nests are caged and the area is fenced off from May till Sept. 1dm3, 500f4, on BushHawk, F8 at 1/1000,iso200, AIservo, AF, ME - Thanks -- Bob

Hi Bob Beautiful bird !!!

Needles to say we always like a lower angle if you are up to mudding !!!! Bird feels tight in frame and would go brighter The light was more from your left rendering the rear end a little dark Do like the head angle and pose !!!! Remember to give us the compensation !!!!

This one is all about angles. I wish for a lower shooting angle and more direct lighting angle.

Glen, I too do a lot of wishing as I crawl around in the muddy sand! Bob
