Spotted Sandpiper in the Mangroves
Watching this Spotted Sandpiper work the mangrove shoreline in the morning sun was enjoyable. They are so meticulous in their search for food and that constantly bobbing tail is always so fun. It was a very busy scene but the overall roots were quite dark so I darkened the exposure a good bit and then with a little more darkening in post I got this.
