Nice capture Debby with a unique background, where was it taken as it looks like moss covered rocks. #1463952

Thanks, Jeffrey! It was taken at Barnegat Lighthouse State Park in the winter. This is the beach side of the jetty during a high tide.

If you haven't been it's known for the Harlequin and other sea ducks in the winter, as well as the purple sandpipers.

Love all your bird shots. So impressive with your familiarity of the species, What lens do you use if I may ask, looks like you're able to shoot so close. #10143806
