Just a simple shot of a simple bird. This is a willet, a large-ish shorebird in the sandpiper family. This particular willet was patrolling the incoming surf at Saint Andrews State Park in Panama City Beach, Florida — foraging for crustaceans, insects and marine worms. I was on my stomach with my 200-400mm lens, trying to avoid that incoming surf. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 300mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/3200th of a second

Very sweet, Sean. I like the “softness” of the bird’s immediate
environment.
One of my favorite birds, you have captured him. Lovely
great pic. looks like this bird is looking for something to eat.

A lovely photo of a sometimes under-appreciated bird.
