I haven't had many opportunities to get these little guys at close range, but this morning in Gulfport while I was working another peep, this one decided to come into decent range. Full frame, larger image included.

Beautiful clarity and detail in the large version, wonderful sharpness and light in the eye.

Love the reflection, clarity and raised foot with a hint of mud on it

Nice pov on this plover. Your ss stopped the action nicely. This would have been nice as a landscape, too. Sharon
