Early this morning found some good birds at the local NWR, and these two young Upland Sandpipers were among them. There were four kids, and mom was with them along the road into the Reserve.

Cute, nicely photographed in their habitat. Excellent feather detail on the large image.

Great natural setting, nicely composed David. I really like their relative positions & identical pose..
Tack sharp, nice DOF, and you managed the brighter dead grasses FG well.

How much did you have to pay them to both look the same way Dave?

The comp on this is awesome Dave. Nice work!
