    Default Semi-palmated Plover at last light

    A few week's ago, we had a great spring migration of a variety of shorebirds in breeding plummage. I would lay on the top of the mudflats wearing my waders and only my upper torso and elbows got messy. In the end, it was all worth it.

    Semipalmated Plover (Charadrius semipalmatus)




    Nikon D300 ~ Nikon 200-400mm F/4 w 1.4x TC
    ISO 400 ~ F/7.1

    Love the low angle, gorgeous light and the colors, Mike.
    The exposure and the pose are excellent too.
    The reflection of the right leg seems smudged for some reason. I'd add just a tad more room above and below if possible.
    Excellent image!

    Lovely warm golden colors in this one, sweet little bird and sweet shot overall, agree about needs a little more on the top and curious as well why the second leg is not mirrored in the water
