p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Returning Shorebirds including two local rarities

My favorite birds to photograph are shorebirds. I was absolutely thrilled that I got the chance to photograph this Upland Sandpiper as in my area they are next to impossible to get close to or see in the open. The Black-necked Stilt is the only one in NY right now and the Yellowlegs is quite common but always nice to capture in late evening light.

Black-necked Stilt D850 600 f4 E + 1.4x iii

Greater Yellowlegs D850 600 f4 E + 1.4x iii

Upland Sandpiper D850 600 f4 E + 1.4x iii

Very well executed. You appear to have a preference for the right foot being off the ground/water when posing your subjects. How do you get them to cooperate so well?

Thanks so much. Sure did have to crawl through a whole lot of muck and stuff to get these.

Low angle is the key to shorebird images. Have to get down onto their level which is getting harder on my neck

Thanks. I prefer the front foot to be out of the water because typically it is better placed in the depth of field but was lucky with the Upland Sandpiper as the rear leg was clear of the front leg and as the bird is slightly angled towards us it was nicely sharp. I do have plenty of photos of these birds with both legs down, with the back legs up and so forth.

It has been hanging out in field between Nickerson and Lido Beach. Also in the Lido preserve. Right near where you often visit. Still there today. Good luck if you go.

Wonderful images all!! Funny how one person's rarity is another's common species....I've been photographing stilts for the last week and have here for the last 20 years. But there are a lot of west coast birds that I never get to see on the east coast.
