Snowy Plover
Fort Myers Beach, FL
Canon 40D, 500mm f/4 & 1.4x TC
1/1000, f/6.3, ISO 200

In this bird/habitat image a Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus tenuirostris) huddles in a depression on the beach during high wind. I was really struck by how well the Cuban subspecies blends into the sand...they are very pale! There was no way to include the feet hidden in the sand, so I went for something else.

Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut the bitch up with cookies.

I don't know how you even caught sight of this little guy, but I'm so impressed with the clarity of the photo! I love how soft the bird looks against the harshness of the cold wintry environment.
