The day before these images where capture I scouted a promising sight with high traffic of bird and a few spars Mink tracks along the rivers mud there was also an abundance of insects for them to feed. |

 |
The following day I set out in the early morning before sunrise setting up the equipment on the rivers bank. For the setup I used the D800 with the 200-400 F4 , 15cm bipod and a burlap camouflage draped over me and the setup. |

Being only 18-20cm in length they are a smaller shore bird that can be found in most rivers and streams in Alberta . |

A easily frightened bird it was very
exciting to photograph these birds up close
