|
|
| The Whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus) is a shorebird which nests in the Arctic tundra and winters in wetlands along the coasts of the southern U.S. south into South America. The first shot shown here shows a Whimbrel near its nest in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, in June, 1988. The next two shots show a spring migrant at Fort Myers, Lee Co., Florida, in April, 1996. These 3 shots are scanned slides and I do not have the original photo information for any of these. |  |

| The next two shots of Whimbrel were taken on Tower Island in the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador, in August, 2010, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and a Sigma 50-500mm lens. |  |

|
| The next 11 shots show Whimbrels on the nesting grounds along the Denali Highway in Alaska in June, 2012. The images were all taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and an EF 500mm F/4 L IS lens. |  |
