\"SpottedSpotted Sandpiper in the Targhee National Forest – Nikon D810, f8, 1\/1250, ISO 400, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

These Spotted Sandpiper images are from my last trip to Idaho and were taken near a creek in the Targhee National Forest<\/span><\/a>. It was a bright evening and the sandpiper was standing on the rock bouncing its bottom up and down like they always seem to be doing.<\/p>\n

After a bit the Spotted Sandpiper flew out into the creek and landed on a rock surrounded by cool, rushing water. This image was taken just before the sandpiper flew off for parts unknown. After looking at the map I believe this was Disaster Creek and now I am wondering how it got that name.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
