Share Your Best Photo of the Day


Message added by aveschapinas,

Folks: it's not OK to take other people's photos to edit and re-post. Just like we don't correct each other's spelling and grammar, we don't take it upon ourselves to decide that someone's photo needs correction. In addition, as has been emphasized before, you need to respect copyright.

Very nice shot @peter571! I think it's a White-rumped Sandpiper, though.

There were 2 Dunlin in this pond who I photographed (I posted a picture here before this one here). You could be right--However, there is a very dark line at the bottom of  its belly which could be the edge of the dark patch of the Dunlin. Also, the beak appears to be larger and a little downcurved. Finally, the Dunlin image appears to be larger than the bird at the front even though its further distance from the camera. These were the facts I used to think its a Dunlin--all these observations are easily disputed. There were white-rumped  sandpipers present in the pond so your interpretation of the image is possible. Unfortunately, I was using a 500 mm lens on a cropped-sensor camera and the distance was quite far---so I could not tell with the naked eye one way or another.
