Spotted sandpiper, a small piper who can't control its butt! If you ever tried to photograph this bird you'll know what I'm talking about.

More info | May 14, 2007 08:52 | #13 A big thank you to Mitch, Bea, Don, Gary, Karen, Sindri, Dennis, and Rick and to all who took a look. montreal wrote in post #3201171  Very nice! I like the way there is motion blur everywhere except on the head. Even the fly was positioned perfectly! Thanks! What you are seeing is cattails blowing in the wind with moving water both in the shadows. The bird is in sweet late sun-light on a spillway giving some good depth. I spent over 2 hours with this bird and he or she got very use to me. bieber wrote in post #3201200 If you don't mind my asking, where are you? I've only ever seen Sandpipers on the beaches here in Florida, but that looks to be in the woods somewhere? Up-state NY. Lots of pipers along the edges of most ponds, lakes and yes even the small creeks. This shot was taken at a small lake. Zip
