Black-bellied Plover in-flight - New Jersey
An adult Black-bellied Plover flying low above the ocean as it migrates north to its breeding grounds:
I took this photograph during this past Spring migration. I was looking forward photographing these birds in flight but unfortunately, we had a very windy days this past Spring. At least, on the days that it was clear. It was rather challenging to keep a bird in the viewfinder, with a long telephoto lens, with gusts over 30mph. I’m hoping for a redo this upcoming Spring :)
Here is a vertical and closer look at the same photograph:
