Finally some decent light. The Least Sandpiper is probably the least common in spring migration on the Copper River, but sometimes you can find a few. Hartney Bay, yesterday.

90% of full frame. Slight adjustments to Levels, selective sharpening of the bird.

C & C, please. Thanks for looking.

Looks just like the bird that left my area last week. The color on this is very nice and I especially like the contrast with the green. You were able to get quite close which is nice for the detail.
