Noted sportsman, author and photographer Ron Spomer submitted this shot of a pair of juvenile rock sandpipers that entertained him while he was awaiting a bush plane during a ptarmigan hunt near King Salmon, Alaska a few years back. His equipment included a Canon 10D, 100-400mm 4.5-5.6L IS lens at 275mm, 1/500, f-9, ISO 500. Spomer tells The Birding Wire that his accompanying setters showed no interest in pointing Alaskan shorebirds. More of his work may be viewed a www.ronspomeroutdoors.com.
