SEMIPALMATED PLOVER (WHAT A WEIRD NAME FOR SUCH A CUTE BIRD)

cute bird, very nice photo!

You caught an excellent shot of this little bird! I love these warm colors and details! Good work Herbert!
Guest 08-Jan-2005 17:55
Nice sharp shot, Herbert. You caught some beautiful warm light, as well.

A SEMIPALMATED PLOVER :-) Cute little shorebird works fine for me..... We actually have a beach out here on Cape Cod that closes at times to protect the nesting plovers.... great capture
Guest 08-Jan-2005 14:13
beautiful. sometimes I could do with legs that bend backwards at the knee. ;)

Herb, this is a great shot. We were in San Diego over Christmas and spent hours watching groups of tiny birds that raced in and out following the waves' progress across sand - is this the same bird do you know?
Karen Stuebing08-Jan-2005 13:08
Nice sharp shot. I love his golden color and he's adorable.
Cindy08-Jan-2005 06:23
Awesome shot Herbert, I just had to look at your exif and find out if you got this close or is you have one heck of a tele, and I see you have a wonderful tele. What a pretty bird with such a weird name. I will now go lookie at your link.
Michael Gehrisch08-Jan-2005 05:55
It's a beautiful shot Herb, but actually this is a Snowy Plover, which a much nicer name than semi-palmated plover ;-)
Guest 08-Jan-2005 05:33
Nice capture -- it is a very cute bird.
petesie08-Jan-2005 04:59
It is just great to see this cute little guy so close....
Karen Leaf08-Jan-2005 04:11
Herb, like how you've included the seaweed or skate pods or whatever you have washing ashore out there-it really gets the small size of the bird across. Guess these must be a relative to our Piping Plovers?

Well, I could pronounce little shore bird, Herbert, now I'm not sure about it's full handle LOL !!
Steve Pepple08-Jan-2005 03:04
Don't these shore birds run really fast? Nice capture.
Pepe Zyman08-Jan-2005 01:58
Did you get wet?
Coleen Perilloux Landry08-Jan-2005 01:36
I like this picture. Is this the bird who runs along the shore, barely lifting his feet, and looks like he's skittering along?
Dawn08-Jan-2005 01:35
FAbulous shot here!
Charlie Ogard08-Jan-2005 01:32
I love the low angle...very nice.
Robin Reid08-Jan-2005 01:23
Gosh, all this time I thought that bird was white breasted Knufken! LOL
Very nicely done H. and I'm glad you are learning your bird names.
Guest 08-Jan-2005 00:54
wow..amazing detail..
Yvonne08-Jan-2005 00:51
A delightful photo of a cute little bird!
Guest 08-Jan-2005 00:47
I have never been able to catch a bird still enough to take a good photo...well done!
Guest 07-Jan-2005 23:48
Hard to get such clear detail on these little buggers (semi-palmated (?) or not), so this is really excellent work.
Gary Hebert07-Jan-2005 23:28
Excellent work Herbert, wonderful composition and details.
Cliff07-Jan-2005 23:13
Lovley close up - I'd love to get a long lens and give this a try!
Guest 07-Jan-2005 22:35
This is a great image, the bird looks so sharp and the lighting is perfect.
