I saw a few of these on my little excursion yesterday. Great shot Kathe.

@Lee: Thanks, Lee. Do you happen to know the name of this sandpiper? There were about three of them together. When I tried searching through my online sources, I found some that were similar but not quite the same (shorter bills, black legs instead of yellow, more brown on the chest, etc).

This bird is surely full of curiosity in deed

@roentarre: It's true - of the three birds in the little group, this one was definitely more curious...always staying closer to us than the other two.

Thanks for the comment, roentarre.

Lovely shot. Like how the sandpiper is in camouflage in man-made materials.
