Shrimp Thief

In this image, a laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) is captured mid-flight, having just snatched a shrimp from the water. Upon closer inspection, the shrimp is visible in the gull's beak, along with droplets of water suspended in the air from its dramatic takeoff. Meanwhile, in the lower left corner, a sanderling (Calidris alba) strolls by, passing a piece of driftwood resting on the sandy shore.

Last week I had a lot of fun hanging out with White Ibis on the beach in Florida experimenting with motion blur to create a different feel.

An American Avocet feeds in the Great Salt Lake early one April morning. This was such a beautiful and peaceful morning with the snow capped mountains in the background. I really need to get back there!

On the last day of our workshop in Utah this past spring, the sunset was absolutely amazing and the sky was on fire. I love the flow of the composition and how the clouds frame the Avocet. April 2024.

Mudflat Wanderer

The textures of the low tide mudflats make this photograph of a foraging sanderling (Calidris alba) captivating, especially with its reflection in the shallow water between the rises. Look closely, and you'll notice a tiny, barely visible morsel in the bird's beak.

I've had several inquiries about how to get prints of my photographs. Photography is a hobby for me, so I haven't been equipped to handle those requests. However, I enjoy what I'm doing and want to share my work.

To make it easier, I set up an account and website with Pixels. You can visit my website at:

If you want a print of one of my photographs, you can get it there. If I haven't uploaded the photo you want, let me know which one it is, and I'll gladly upload it for you.

Mentre els tractors tracten de fer la neteja de les platges després de la catàstrofe de la DANA els territs de tres dits van amunt i avall buscant menjant.

I had a blast with shorebirds this fall! The variations of light, perspective and background I was able to get were incredible. This Sanderling is posing in front of a group of Dunlin roosting in the distance as the sun rose and cast its beautiful golden light.

Looking Good

This sanderling (Calidris alba) appears to study its reflection in the water. I'm sure is just foraging for food.

"The Sanderling is one of the world’s most widespread shorebirds. Though they nest only in the High Arctic, in fall and winter you can find them on nearly all temperate and tropical sandy beaches throughout the world. The Ruddy Turnstone and the Whimbrel are the only other shorebirds that rival its worldwide distribution." - allaboutbirds.org

Des de fa unes setmanes hi ha un grup d'uns 20-30 territs de tres dits en la platja del Rei del Mareny de Barraquetes. És un ocell que en l'estiu habita regions àrtiques i durant l'hivern ens visita. Una mostra de la vida de les nostres platges sense turisme.
