Sandpipers

[EdMac]

I went out to the Cape May NJ beach this morning to try and get some bird pictures. I used my Nikon 300 f2.8 on my D100. It was really hot, even at 8:am, so I didn't get much. I did get a couple shots of these Sandpipers. These were taken at f8 in A priority mode. Comments welcome as always

I was always kind of partial to these birds. I like the way they run along the beach. Nice shots, Ed!

I used to live within walking distance of the Pacific in N. California and certainly miss it and the sandpipers; I'm 100 miles inland in the mountains now. I'm jealous.

Hi, They really are interesting as they run from the waves. Thanks for the comments.

Hi,

I have always lived near the ocean, and I am sure I would miss it. Thanks for your comments.

Very nice pipers Ed. They are funny when they run in and out at the beach as the waves go in and out.

Hi Mike,
I would guess that for some species it has already. For the most part September is the beginning.
Have a great week at Fenwick Island.
