Little Explorer
© David Orias
A Western Snowy Plover chick investigates the beach while searching for insects. This is an endangered species of shore birds that nests in only small areas of the California coast. This is a reserve where the shore and sand dunes are protected and managed to prevent human intrusion into their nesting areas.

David, I have never seen a chick Plover before...so this is a real treat, as well as a great photo. Congrats on this very fine capture. My best, Phyllis
David Orias  Thanks Phyllis. It was my first as well. I was kind of amazed how far they would explore away from the adult parent at this size.

beautiful shot. What a delicate little plover chick.
David Orias  Thanks. It is probably bigger on your screen that it is in real life.......

I think, the animal photography deserves its own section.
It is the most difficult discipline.
David Orias  I think every type of photography has its challenges when you really try to excel at it.
