Sanderling
As I was watching the sun rise I noticed movement on the beach near the waters edge. I walked up to this sanderling half way then crawled up to a safe distance. As I was laying on the beach on my stomach waiting, This guy walked right towards me and gave me this look.. I enjoy being on the beach at sunrise and love getting that Golden hour warmth on the birds..

You got a lovely picture of the Sanderling at sunrise! You certainly get a birds-eye view of them when you are down on the ground taking the pic.
Thanks Mike, I try to get eye level on my photography.
You’ve really captured this bird in his favorite spot – running at the surfs edge. Nice soft light and sharpness.
Thanks Emil.
Great picture!
Thank you Leegramas
