I unfortunately have no idea what kind of bird you got in your first shot, but I love it. Caught in the act yet perfectly in focus. Very nicely done

Great shots, love the last one. Can almost read the boy's thoughts "Do I really have to stand here to have a picture taken with that stupid rainbow?"

Default What kind of bird?

Sandpiper, isn't it? Used to see them along the Texas Gulf Coast.

Nice shots!

Love the sandpiper! Lots of Sandpipers on the Atlantic Coast. We had them when I lived on Long Island - and saw them when we visited the Outer Banks two years ago. Glad you are enjoying outer banks. I loved that area. Stayed in Duck. Thanks for bringing me back there in your wonderful photos.
