    Mixed Shorebirds PB163301.jpg

    There are clearly visible White-rumped Sandpipers and Least Sandpipers in this shot, and additionally, there was at least Western Sandpiper and probably Semipalmated Sandpiper in the flock. They thrashed back and forth a number of times as if they were spooked by a raptor (which would be a...

    Green Heron

    I realize this could look like an image with artificial lightning during capture or post processing. Neither is true, completely natural light. However, as I took this image sun was behind me and rain was starting from the opposite direction. Lucky draw except for the extent I got wet ...

  19. American Golden Plover

    American Golden Plover

    I was at a shooting swamp owned by people who stopped shooting birds a while back. They were great at using little whistles to attract birds.
