“Puff”

Wilson’s Plover puffed up on a windy morning. On Tigertail Beach, Florida. These have tan legs while their cousin the Snowy Plover is a little smaller with gray legs. They tend to mingle some and live on shorelines in the vegetation. They are fragile and are highly protected.

The trick in shooting these small rather shy shorebirds is to lay on your stomach and inch closer shooting as low as possible at their eye level. Tip of the day.
