Shorebirds (Alex Mody)

Photographing shorebirds can be a lot of fun. A few weeks ago I spent the weekend shooting in Conneaut, Ohio. I'd like to share a few shots of mine from the weekend. Laying on my stomach, shooting at eye level with the birds, and going for a clean background was key to making both of these photographs. The first is a Killdeer, and the second is a Semipalmated Sandpiper.
