I have photographed these birds many times before, But in breeding plumage on the Tundra, It's extra special.
This was captured while laying prone on the tundra, The naturalized mounds in the area create perches where the birds climb up on and sing. The soft carpet of the Tundra makes for comfortable shooting conditions.
These and most birds were already nesting by time we left Barrow. Things happen fast in the Arctic as the window these birds have for raising young is very short.
