Juvenile Stilt Sandpiper (Calidris himantopus) - Delta, BC

My friend Mike Tabak and I had a great time photographing an accommodating Stilt Sandpiper in the evening light at Boundary Bay. This was after a great day of shorebirding with Peter Candido, that included 5 Bar-tailed Gowdits among other goodies. We only get Stilt Sandpipers during fall migration and we have had a good number of these juveniles in the Lower Mainland this year. Looking forward to the first Sharp-tailed Sandpiper to arrive.
