In July, I captured a variety of bird species with my camera, but I focused on shorebirds in the second half of the month as they became more common with the onset of the fall migration. I used my trusty Canon 7D II, Candace II, and a Sigma 150-600mm 5-6.3 Contemporary DG OS HSM, also known as Big Selma, and edited the photos with Lightroom 5.
These are a few of the images I got:
