Love everything about this one! Great light and wing position, not an easy species to capture in flight. This was at Muddy Pond if I remember? What a fantastic morning of shorebird photography we had that morning!

They look the best in flight. Excellent down wing pose, Dorian.

Not that easy to get a clean frame like this is right. I have been trying for years and I have a few keepers so I know the value of what you have.
Great down wings pose, light angle, details and BG. Well done Dorian

Nice light, pose and background. Not the easiest bird to capture in flight. Well done.
