Piping-Plover-Display-Nickerson

Action at Nickerson!

Each of the three images in this post are somewhat flawed; in the first image the birds are both angled away and there is no such thing as a head angle here! The second image the light angle is all wrong and I was too low and cut off their feet. The third image was …
