Made a visit to Jones Beach yesterday and found a lot of sandpipers near the west end seawall as they were using it for shelter from the cold wind. When I got down on my belly to take there photos I was also sheltered and felt great as I had quickly become used to Florida. The first photo is of a sanderling and the others of dunlin.
I lost count of the ones I really liked so I'll just give you
I have 1 shot of the same thing...actually I have a shot of you on your belly shooting the sandpipers
It was a fun day despite it being owlless....I enjoyed the 30mph wind, well maybe enjoyed is not the right word....the right word is not one I share in mixed company.

Morris, those are superb images! The low position gives a very pleasing perspective. I love No. 6-9 the most and to me, No. 7 is absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you Joshua,
I'd noticed something was missing from many of my pictures before going away and I realized that I was not getting down as low as I could. I'm glad you enjoyed these

#10 is my pick of this wonderful set.

Thank you Nigil,
10 gives a feel for the density, what I did not show was a photo of the whole colony

That 30 MPH wind was quite a reintroduction to being back in NYC. I'm glad you enjoyed them and I understand that forgetting how to count is is a symptom of seeing yellow eyes in your dreams

Thank you Keith,
It was my pleasure to fill my pockets with sand!
Very well done Morris, love this low angle of these shots. Shooting from these low angles sure give a different perspective to the image, again very good.
