Wilson’s Phalarope Catching an Insect
Here are a couple full frame shots of a Wilson’s Phalarope taken at Bryan Beach, TX earlier in the year. My first time seeing one of these little guys. They were moving very fast and darting everywhere. I didn’t know what they were trying to catch until I got home and saw the second photo.
Taken with Canon 7D and 100-400 lens on Skimmer ground pod.
1/1600 sec @ F5.6, +2/3 exposure compensation, spot metering, ISO 250
1/2000 sec @ F5.6, +2/3 exposure compensation, spot metering, ISO 250
And the second shot shows…nothing. Love the1st one though. Great action shot, nice light and dead on with focus.

Not sure what you mean about the second shot but thanks about the other one.
