Up close and personal...
This Western Sandpiper was migrating through Homer to the Yukon Delta when I snapped this shot of it. It was just at the minimum focus distance for my lens and gave me a fantastic look. I had to laugh as they actually would, on occasion, run right past my legs as I sat on a stool, taking it all in. I would be urging some of them to get far enough away that I could take their photo ;) This bird is in breeding plumage and ready for the season!
