Black-bellied plover & shadow, Pillar Point Harbor

Black-bellied plover - Pat Ulrich Wildlife Photography

Two more shots of this very friendly black-bellied plover at Pillar Point Harbor on Half Moon Bay. As the sun was dropping lower in the sky, the shadows stretched longer, and really elongated the look of the lengthy legs of this shorebird.

    The brilliance of your photography never fails to amaze. I know there is a bit of serendipity involved in capturing a whimsical scene like this but heaven only knows how much blood, sweat, and tears you shed in making the magic happen. You are among the best Pat!
