Sharp-tailed Sandpiper side view

Well after trying for at least 3 weeks to even see this rare Asian breed (here in Vancouver, BC) ...I finally was able to view and take many shots. Unfortunately the sun wasn't my best friend here...(back lighting the subject)...but I'm not going to complain. At least I have a record of the sighting now.

 

The shots were also taken at quite a distance so I had to crop quite a bit into the shots to see the subject...again not a problem...and due to the back lighting I had to do a 1 stop over exposure to get some detail and not a dark blob.

 

Thanks for looking!!!
