The large image is the best way to see this. The very fine detail shows really well there. I also like the interesting perch, which really pushes this image a notch higher.

Definitely needs to be seen large. The detail shines through. Nice pose and head turn. Fascinating perch and superb background.

Really good pose and lighting, Sandy. I really like the gold bits of growth on the perch.

What an unusual perch for a western sandpiper. That's why I like it so much. Great pose on a wonderful perch and excellent details.

Sweet One Sandy frown
