Least peep, on the run

Least peep, on the run

A least sandpiper cruising along the beach at MacKerricher State Park. While panning as it ran, I only managed a few shots that were sharp enough on the bird, and unfortunately I couldn't quite keep the tip of the tail in the frame. These guys seemed really comfortable while picking through the wrack on the shoreline, but as soon as they reached some open sand they took off at a sprint until they found some cover on the other side.

  1. Awesome shots and with such precision in motion yet still conveying movement. Just gorgeous man, I envy your technique. Hope all is well!

  2. Thanks, Jarred! with how fast these guys scurry along the sand it can be challenging to keep pace while panning, but thankfully I managed a few with the head sharp.
