These are from Nickerson beach about two weeks ago. The first gives a good idea about the variety and numbers of birds we have in this amazing nesting ground on the Atlantic Flyway

Another very nice set Morris. It seems very late in the year to have a small chick like in the first shot? ~ Ron

#5 for me Morris. I didn't even see the piper until I read Ron's comments. Too funny.

Good captures but Im here thinking....did you really needed the Better Beamer for these? The plumage seems a bit overexposed to me. Perhaps no Beamer would have been better? Keep up the good work!

Thank you Ron,
The little one in the first photo is a sandpiper :-}

Thank you Ken,
Ron knows his birds, i'm wondering if he was pulling our leg as he is a great jokester

Thank you Chris,
It's rare that the water looks that color and I agree it makes great background

Thank you Oscar,
The whites are pegged, i don't think overexposed, it's the harsh light that's doing it and not having fill would make the shadows darker. The real solution is a different time of day.

Nice set. I love the way they stand on one foot as depicted in number one.

Thank you Birdie. I've always thought that birds did that to reduce cold conduction, it was not cold...
