One of the things I love about photographing birds is finding ways to deliver unique perspectives using new technology. My latest obsession is creating 3D photos of the pics I’m taking with my Canon 5DS. It’s a neat way to share my passion for the outdoors with others. This is a Spotted Sandpiper. I found him hunting for prey at the top of the waterfall at Yates Mill Park in Raleigh, NC. The Spotted Sandpiper is one of the most widespread shorebirds occurring during migration across the state, appearing along the shorelines of many or most ponds and lakes at one time or another. Unlike most others, they are not restricted to mudflats of large lakes in which to forage, but they can "make do" along the shores of small ponds, pools, lakes, river or creek sandbars, sewage ponds, and the like, even along tidal shores. That being said, I had no idea that they occurred so far inland until I found this one 🙂 Photo by @sally_siko . . . . #birdnerd #birdsofinsta #birdsofinstagram #ncwildlife #birding #birdwatching #Birdbehavior #bird #birds #yatesmillpark #ncbirding #ncbirds #ncbirdwatching #canon #canon5ds #spottedsandpiper #3d #3dpicture #birdsofeasternunitedstates #ncbirdingtrail #eastcoastbirding #hiking #nchiking #ncoutdoors #ncnature #silvercordeventphotography #silvercordphotodaily #ncwildlifephotographer #yatesmillpark #birdwatchingnc #northcarolinabirds
