Short-billed Dowitcher
While photographing Puffins and Arctic Terns this flock of Short Billed Dowitchers blitzed in and gave me a sweet group shot. I have never seen so many SBD’s together in my life. This was taken from a boat at Petit Manan Island. There are a few Arctic Terns mixed in with this flock. I think almost every bird is also in good focus.

Great shot to get the SBDs in flight like that. Fast on the trigger finger!
The Birds!
Great photo. I feel like you don’t see flying bird photos that often.
