There is this place, a farmer's field, just outside of Bethlehem, PA where an amazing thing happens. There is a depression, a bowl of sorts, in one of the fields and water accumulates in it creating a mud flat/water mix. The ducks, gulls and other shore birds congregate there and it seems that hardly a week goes by with some interesting bird observation being made.
The sad part is that it is looking more and more like that farmland will be sold off for development (a golf course and condos). What a pity.
We stopped by this afternoon and while there were no rarities there, there were many gulls, some killdeer, plovers and sandpipers as well as ducks and ducklings.
I took about 30 or 40 shots of a couple of Least Sandpipers who were feeding on the near shore. They were part of a flock of 50 or more that we saw flying around at one point.
The first three images were at ISO400 because I forgot to change it after the Veery of the morning. The remaining four were at ISO100. I did use fill flash on several of the images as well.
If you got this far, thanks for reading. And thanks for looking.
C&C would be appreciated.
Thanks. I am glad you liked the images.
