How did photographer Kyle Maitland (@birdsofbirdnbrush) capture this shot of a Red Knot?

One September day, Kyle headed to a beach where he encountered a mixed shorebird flock that included a Baird’s Sandpiper, a Stilt Sandpiper, and this Red Knot in fresh juvenile plumage, with neat scalloping on the upperparts.

He set up at a good distance to watch and wait, hoping they would wander in his direction. "After some time, as the sun began to set, the plants at the top of the slope caught wonderful shadows," he reflects. "It was windy enough for waves and spray, and the mix of warm sunset lighting and shadows produced a rich tapestry of bokeh balls and color, creating a surreal atmosphere."

Kyle's incredible shot made this year's Audubon Photography Awards top 100 list.
