Hope you enjoyed! I don't know what type of sand piper it is. 
I also saw two other ducks, one with a mostly white body, cinnamon head, and red eyes, and another one that had a kinda mohawky head with a pear-shaped patch of mallard green on the side of his head. 
Tomorrow I'll attempt those ones, they were skittish.

Yeah... there's something about birds facing left though. I don't know what it is. Nice pictures!

Those pics are great, especially the first and last one. With the reflections on the still water

i really like this one. cool lighting. great first pics as well, although, that 2nd image there seems to be a bit blurry, specially in the body of the bird. see if you can post-process sharpen it in photoshop or something.
keep up the phenomenal work. what camera and lens are you using?
