Title: BAIRD'S SANDPIPER - SHATTERED PEACE
Species: Baird's Sandpiper (Calidris bairdii) Photographer: James McIntyre Date: September 10, 2001 Location: Utah County, UT Equipment: Canon EOS-1VHS; EF 600 mm f/4L IS USM + 2.0x I TE; Fuji Provia 100F Evaluative Metering: +1/3 Late on a warm September afternoon, I photographed this juvenile Baird's Sandpiper on the shore of Utah Lake. It was feeding serenely, resting and gaining strength during its long journey southward - from its birthplace in the high Arctic to its winter home in South America. As sunset approached about 7 p.m., I left quietly without ever flushing the bird. At that peaceful moment neither of us realized that, just 12 hours later, our world would change forever. |
