Sandpiper-like Birds

I capture this image on a recent early morning outing to Bolivar Peninsula in Texas. I was watch some other birds in a small puddle and when I turned to my left I found this cute Snowy Plover pointing his beak right at me. They tend to move very quickly, but on this occasion he stayed still long enough for me to take just one picture.
