Churchill Manitoba.
Not easy to do this when you are a shorebird! Breeding season makes it possible.
1/350s, f/9.5, ISO 400.
600 mm + TC 1.4 on D800.

Lovely - I've never seen these guys in trees. Nice pose, fine detail, and great tree/pinecones.
A bit more DOF would have allowed all branches to be in focus, but fine aS IS.

Very cool. Definitely not the expected perch for a shore bird. Excellent job handling the exposure on this one, Claude.

This is an excellent capture of this shorebird on a tree in Churchill.

Cool perch and nice pose. I assume that this bird has chosen a vantage point to spot a potential mate! Well exposed too - the capture of course. Thanks for sharing.
