Nice environmental capture of this bird. Nicely done Debra

Jane LeBlanc

Great shot, Debra. I love how the bird is so still with all the movement around it.

Debra Plett

Thanks very much Jane. I was rushing hoping that I would at least get one shot in before the bird moved out of the rapidly moving water.

Beautyful bird Debra. Lot of details and texture on this shot. I use to see the smaler sandpiper. The rushing waters and rocks gives a nice surrounding to the big bird. Very nice catch.

Thanks very much Yves. I was quite happy to find a Greater Yellowlegs and even more so with the bird standing in the rippling water.
