Curlew Sandpiper (rare) - Duxbury Beach, MA (at Crescent Beach) - August 26, 2015

Seen for a few minutes on the Crescent Bewaach portion of Duxbury Beach on August 26, 2015. A number of photos were taken of which this and the previous photos (enlargements of a 400mm zoom) are the best I could get before the large mixed flock spooked and I was unable to relocate the bird. Spent an hour on 8/27 as well with no success.

This male is fairly well along into its winter (basic) plumage with the full orange-rusty breast now blotchy.

Canon EOS 40D
1/100s f/14.0 at 400.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
