A semipalmated sandpiper in Rhode Island in a small spot of sunlight.

Sandpiper Spotlight

Narragansett, Rhode Island

A semipalmated sandpiper steps into the very last point of light on the beach, only a few square inches in size, as the sand and ocean already lie in shadow. I had half made up my mind to head back to the car and make for the clam shack at this point, with the sun almost entirely gone and only a tiny bit of natural light remaining, but I was able to find the sandpiper and get off a short sequence of frames just in time to beat the sundown.
