Sandpiper, Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska – Image 2495

Oct 1, 2013

A western sandpiper walks the tide line looking for food in Reid Inlet, Glacier Bay National Park. I shot this photo from a two-person kayak. My good friend, Joe, was able to paddle me almost motionless within shooting range to get this photo. This image illustrates the page 81 in my book on Glacier Bay National Park. Camera: Nikon F/5, Lens: 300mm f/4 Nikkor, Film 35mm Velvia slide film-Mark Kelley
