"Cautious Look"  Malibu Lagoon, Malibu, CA.  I crawled 20 feet in the sand and seaweed to get this shot close to the ground.   I learned something interesting.  When I crawled the birds were weary but stood their ground.  When I stood up they ran.  The moral to the story crawl, stay low and make yourself smaller to the prey you are going to photograph.  I am thinking of getting a Gilly suit to assist me with this endeavor. These are Western Sandpipers.
