They are on a stop over coming down from way up north on their way to southern coasts as far down as Chile and Argentina. This is my first experience photographing shore birds and thankfully these sanderlings are pretty cooperative.    Michele

Oct 02, 2008 18:57 | #4 Thanks much Carl and Roland. Your kind comments are appreciated. When the birds flew in they were actually dead smack into the rising sun. I had to double back around them and approach in military crawl style to shoot them front lit. They did let me get pretty close Michele

The Sandies are a curious bird. Seems once I lay down they get relaxed and start checking me out. It wasn't too bad. I was on regular sand up shore from the pebbles, which wasn't a great thing for my binos which in my haste I forgot were harnessed to my chest Michele
