Amongst the Peeps
I was shooting the individual members of the Western Sandpiper flock when a female voice behind me said, "What is that bird with the black belly?" I said, without seeing the bird, "It's probably a Dunlin," having seen a few of them in the large flocks of Western Sandpipers. But then I needed to get some shots of the Dunlin and raised my head to find it. Then I focused on it for a bit since I don't have any good Dunlin shots. No more, as this specimen gave me some great looks! Thank you anonymous woman for asking that question!
