I may be traveling again so because I am short on time to do up posts that will publish while I am away I thought I would do a sort of “throwback” to old posts that some of you might not have seen.<\/p>\n

Today I am focusing on older posts that have shorebirds in them starting with Black-bellied Plovers:<\/p>\n

Piping Plovers are small, sparrow sized shorebirds that are endangered and threatened in most of their range primarily due to human disturbance on their nesting grounds.<\/p>\n

Greater Yellowlegs<\/strong><\/p>\n

I photographed this group of Greater Yellowlegs by kneeling in the water, bending forward and placing my elbows on the lagoon bottom to brace my arms and use them to steady my camera and lens.<\/p>\n
