Baird's Sandpiper

It was so cool to see this Arctic nester in Southern Chile; the fact that I flew from Los Angeles from Miami to Santiago to Punta Arenas and still didn't replicated this species's bi-annual migration is simply incredible. As for the the photo, I closed down to f/11 (and correspondingly raised the ISO to 1600) in hopes of keeping more of the mussels in focus (it worked to some degree). The blurry white stuff on the right had side is a breaking wave in the distance.
