Here was the dilemma. The Snowy Plover is protected along the west Florida coast, and I did not want to interfere with its breeding. So I set my camera up a safe distance from this bird. However, as a laid there, the bird decided to walk up to me. At one point it was no more than 3 feet away. Being an opportunist, I kept on shooting and ended up with some super close-ups on a life bird.
