Sangan Shorebird Prints
Yesterday I featured shorebirds from the mouth of the Sangan River, probably plovers. Today, I show you their tracks in the softer sand on the upper beach, some partly washed away, others firmly planted on top of human footprints as if to assert primacy.
This map shows you where today’s images were taken just east of Massett on the shore of Dixon Entrance.

Canon 5Dii with Canon 50mm/f1.4 lens, ISO100, f13 except one at f3.5.
I love these.
Thanks! Me too.
I love the simplicity of these; I’m with Paula on the flowers done by feet idea!
Hi Lynn and thank you. Paula’s idea is indeed charming and compelling.
accidental art, a collaboration of birds and photographer. I have often tried to take pics like this but never with such success.
Accidental art is a great description of these prints, and what attracted me to them. Thanks!
Me encantan
Thank you!
The “J” photo had me confused a little, but I get it now. I like the tracks in the sand idea, very clever.
Thanks Ken. It is interesting how the tracks vary, apparently by the level of moisture in the sand they are walking on. In J for instance, the shoe print must have been drier than surrounding areas because the prints are so much more gross and poorly defined.
I love C, F, and G especially. F is like flowers done by feet!
Hi Paula – what a nice idea – perhaps that is what caught my eye – I found myself strangely attracted to these.
