I see these wonderful little birds all the time during the winter. My favorite place to see them is Marl Bed Flats, where a flock of 50 or more may fly overhead at any moment.<\/p>\n

I have a terrible time getting photos of them, though. I get shots of them in flight, usually far away, and I can never seem to get close enough to them after they land to get a photo.<\/p>\n

Well, yesterday a flock of about 20 flew by, and then one little straggler followed and landed not too far in front of me. As I made my way a little closer, it seemed okay with me.<\/p>\n

Here’s my best shot. There’s certainly room for improvement, but at least I don’t mind showing it to you.<\/p>\n
