I went out looking for Sandpiper action at our local Kennebunk beach but had to stop for land/seascape. (There are some sandpipers along the surf line.) Sony a5100 with the E 10-18 f4 zoom at 15mm equivalent. Superior Auto with Landscape Scene mode. Processed in Photomator.
Semi-palmated Sandpipers: York County Maine, USA, September 2024 — I went back to the beach yesterday specifically to try to catch a few of these interactions…face-offs, tumbles in the air, and aggressive posturing…between the Semi-palmated Sandpipers as they fed up against the sea wall in the piles of seaweed. I am not certain what these interactions signify, but they are interesting to watch and a challenge to catch in a photograph. Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
