I love when it all comes together, the light, the gesture, and the story telling of a wildlife photo. I told you yesterday that this Semipalmated Sandpiper had a considerable injury on its left hand side and under its wing. The photo I show you today is my favorite of the whole shooting session, which lasted about thirty minutes. The click was made after the bird took a bath and dried and preened its feathers in the low, but still powerful evening sun. It was only a brief moment that the sandpiper tilted its head over the injury, like it would tell me, I don’t like to show this. The click made my day…
