The Dunlin in the Snow
We are at the very north end of the Dunlin’s winter range on the Atlantic coast. This Dunlin is getting by on the Dogbar Breakwater with the Purple Sandpipers.

Love the photos
Excellent. So close and sharp, thumbs up! Birds in snow is goofy to me, probably cause I'm never around snow. Great photos!
Hi Steve,
These are excellent pictures, and on the first one you forgot to mention the purple sandpiper in the background ;-) Dunlin are gone over here, I guess to your place, but they should have stayed here cause we do not have snow and cold temps!!! I never see them in these color patterns, they are usually with their black patch on the belly! Sandpiper are still around and I've seen some this week end!
I love these shots, the snow adds a plus on them!
What can I say Steve, these shots are stunning.
I've never met a Dunlan before. I love the bills. Excellent shots.
Thanks for the introduction. I've never met a Dunlin but according to Cornell their migration is quite broad through most of the US. Your photos are so crisp and clear! This is one lucky Dunlin. They'll be wanting that shot on the cover of Dunlin World. ;-)
That is a pretty but strange looking little bird. Looks like someone glued a new beak on it that doesn't quite fit.
Great shots, specially the first shot with the second sandpiper darker and out of focus mirroring the shape of the one in the foreground. Nicely composed on the diagonal snow.
Wow steve - absolutely stunning. Great captures.
Absolutely superb. He must have thermal insulation on his feet!
Fantastic! And that must've been some serious glass you were using to get that tight. I'm curious about the "ghost" image in the background of the first one though. I've had similar things happen, but normally only at night when shooting a really wide aperture. And mine are always upside down and reversed, so I'm wondering if it's the same phenomenon or just something similar. Or is there actually a second bird behind the Dunlin?
such a round little bird!!! your photos are so crisp! i love seeing the details in the feathers and the snow!
What a beautiful creature and your photo captures every little wonderful detail.
Holy Guacamole! Awesome shots Steve!
Very Nice I like the out of focus Purple Sand's as well
Great pics Steve!
