The picture of this Solitary Sandpiper was taken the at Jamaica Bay Wildlifre Refuge. There is actually only one perch at Big John’s Pond at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. The water is really high so you really need to be there at the right moment to catch the sandpipers perched. I spoke to one of the rangers at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge to request that more perches be “planted” in the pond. The blind at Big John’s Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge is a wonderful place to view and photography birds,
This pictures was taken with my CANON EOS7D with the 100-400mm lens. It is interesting to see the water reflected on the bottom of the Solitary Sandpiper
