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

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 :)
