Piping Plover
Charadrius melodus

S. Padre Island, TX, USA

With a world population of <10,000, it's always cool to see one of these guys; we usually find at least one on our beach dog-walks on the Island in April.  They tend to be pretty wary, so even with a big crop I was pretty happy with this.

Canon 5DIV
100-400 4.5-5.6 II
1/1600, f/8, ISO 800
Eval +1
Hand held, natural light

Comments and suggestions always appreciated

I really like the colors I can see in the fanned tail feathers. Great capture.

Yeah, they are a special bird. We are lucky to find them breeding on our beaches.
