17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Racing Sanderling

There was a large flock of sanderling sandpipers racing along the shore at Nickerson Beach on Long Island, NY at sunset. I isolated this one as it ran capturing it with both feet off the ground and another sanderling in the background.
