Bar-tailed Godwit

***Same vagrant bird as previous frame, so read the spiel attached to that image ***
I thought this head-down foraging pose - and sand flea morsel - was a nice complement to the previous frame where the bird was running towards me. I also like to get a subject on varied fore/backgrounds, so the brown/sand tones in this frame give it a more terrestrial feel than the blue examples.

San Mateo County, California, 10/17/19
