This is probably a juvenile or at least a noon-breeding Spotted Sandpiper, foraging and feeding between the logs and driftwood along the shore of Mud Lake at the Mississippi. Moments like this are the highlights and the best reason to go out again and again and try to capture the light or freeze the moment of action. A thin overcast made for a subtle light and being at the right place at the right time with the kayak and camera allowed me to make the click. Someone may say this is just luck. Sure, a little bit of luck is part of wildlife photography, but the luck will follow you if you go out and work a location over and over again. If you know a location well and if you are prepared for the shot, the luck will find you...
