2016—Reflecting On Sanderlings

Almost every time I post a photograph of a sanderling I say that sanderlings are my favorite shore birds.  So it was a real thrill to get to up so close and personal with these charming little creatures using Moose’s beach panning technique.  I especially liked this shot because of the reflection in the wet sand.  I’m wondering if its riveting gaze directly at me is because it caught its own reflection in the glass of my 600mm lens.
