This image was created this morning at Point Lookout on Long Island. Ruddy turnstones are perhaps my favorite over-wintering shorebird on Long Island. The light angle was not optimum, I would have needed to wade into the ocean a bit, as it was, the tide caught me: next time, waders.
Thank you for looking and for your comments.
