Very nice, got this one down perfectly. So, would that high wing stretch be like a High 5?

Hi Paul,

Your shorebirds have been fantastic the past few weeks. This is no exception. The light and pose are just great. Really nice work!

Hi Paul, I have never attempted shorebird photography. When I do, your images will serve as my benchmark.
