The best thing about photographing shorebirds (other than their unique beauty) is that if you place yourself in a good location and just be patient, they will work their way into close proximity. Here are some from my collection:
Ruddy turnstone Galveston Island, Texas
Whimbrel, Black Butte Reservoir, California
Dunlin, Galveston Island, Texas
Avocet, Malheur NWR, Oregon
Black-necked stilt, Sacramento NWR, California
Lesser yellowlegs, Moss Landing, California
Killdeer, Kern NWR, California
Spotted sandpiper, Trout Lake, Wyoming
Marbled godwit, Samoa Dunes, California
Willet, Humboldt Bay, California
Truly enjoyed your bird photos. Thanks for posting.
Excellent photos! I live in southwest Ohio and started birding about 3 years ago. I can't tell you what a thrill it is to me to find a shorebird around here. There was a pair of Avocets just yesterday sighted, but when I went this morning, they sadly had moved on. I think your photos are excellent examples of the many different species and what makes them such great subjects! Thanks for sharing :)
An excellent set. Varied and well taken.
