Shorebirds in flight

Now I have a camera with which it's possible to photograph birds in flight, I was able to take full advantage of the commotion caused by a Northern Harrier repeatedly putting up the shorebirds at Woodland Wastewater ponds.

American Avocets

Western and Least Sandpipers

Long-billed Dowitchers

Black-necked Stilts

Red-necked Phalaropes

Avocet and Least Sandpiper

The shorebirds commuting between the flooded alfalfa fields were also very photogenic. Long-billed Curlews

White-faced Ibis
