great ripple lines in the sand along with a super pose, Bill. maybe a little cw rotation?

With the black on the belly and the primary projection, I think you've got a Dunlin here.

I can't speak to the ID, but I agree with Brian on the rotation. Other than that, well taken with perfect DOF. I like the slight angle which does a good job bringing the ripples into play. cool

Hi Bill

Nice work to hold a 800mm shot that sharp.

A very cool feeding pose you captured of this beauty Bill. I really like the rippled med flats.

Sweet One!
