19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Escape

Photograph taken on the shore of Punta de Hidalgo beach. When I was photographing birds on this coast, I observed how some plovers approached the shore when the wave retreated to feed, and they flew out when the wave arrived. I hid behind a rock and waited for this to happen and be able to take the plover out in flight.
