I was hiking along the coast at Perdido Key State Park, when this Sanderling caught my eye. Darting back and forth avoiding the oncoming tide, he was quickly capturing tiny sand crabs and eating them as fast as he possibly could. I got my camera and 300mm lens out of my backpack, and sat down on the shore as the bird scuttled across the sand, barely paying attention to me. I spent the next 5 minutes taking over 50 photos, until he decided that it was time to leave. When going through my photos, I found this image from when he stopped his hunting to look at me, and I decided that this was the best photo from the shoot.
