Got Shrimp

Here’s a moment where a laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) swooped down and plucked a shrimp straight from the surf—mid-flight, mid-feast, mid-ceremony. And of course, a sanderling (Calidris alba) wandered into the frame, photobombing with perfect timing and coastal dignity.

I captured this scene on the beach at Gulfport, Mississippi.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

A dark adult bird, likely a Coot, with a white beak patch, swims on a calm, algae-covered body of water. Three small, fluffy chicks with bright orange/red heads follow closely behind. #Birds #lukehaigh #birdwatching #birdphotography #birding

Procession at Sunset

This image of four ducks swimming into twilight caught my eye. Their near-black silhouettes glide through flickering ripples of orange and blue, where shadow and light dance across the water’s surface. It’s the contrast—the quiet procession against the shimmering backdrop—that holds the gaze.
