This photo was taken at the location described on page 27 of my Shorebirds of the Tri-state Area during Fall Migration guide. In this guide not only I’m providing detailed information on 15 locations but also information on how I’m finding these spots, how I’m deciding when and where to go for the best photographic opportunities, how I approach photography there and many more tips that can be applied at other locations. All that to help you improve your photography. Check it out - https://www.greggard.com/location-guides/shorebirds-tri-state-nj-ny-ct-photography-ebook

This particular location offers excellent opportunities for shots like this one for both morning and afternoon shoot. I hope you will be able to visit it this season.
