Learned a lot in an outing with Don D on the field mark differences between the Baird's Sandpipers vs. the Semipalmated Sandpipers. Check out his photo for the reference.
Still more shorebirds to come. I'm glad we've managed to get some shorebirds within the last 2-3 weeks, but the numbers have gone down quite a bit as some have moved on and continued their fall migration.

I found this Bald Eagle feeding on a Mallard on the frozen part of the river as I was approaching toward the bridge. I was able to find a decent spot facing directly toward the Eagle and I was shooting between the branches while laying on my stomach like a sniper. I wasn't sure if this Eagle killed this Mallard or stole it from others.

I was happy that I was able to approach them at a close distance (while not stressing them) for some portraits.
