This Buff-breasted Sandpiper seen near Frank Lake in southern Alberta, Canada, in August, 2020, was my first sighting of the species. The image shows the beautiful buffy tones, as well as some mud on this individual’s bill from feeding. Despite the dainty appearance, these birds undertake a very long migration twice a year, between breeding territories in the High Arctic of North America and overwintering grounds in South America as far south as Argentina.
I've hung on to this one for so long because I thought THE only pipet was a Water Pipet, and there was no water in Mt. Rainier NP where we found this guy running around on the ground. Today I found out that the American Pipit known by the preferred ornithologists' name, the Buff-bellied pipet.
It's been known for a long, long time: "The buff-bellied pipit (Anthus rubescens), or American pipit as it is known in North America, is a small songbird found on both sides of the northern Pacific. It was first described by Marmaduke Tunstall in his 1771 Ornithologia Britannica. It was formerly classified as a form of the water pipit."
So here is my one and only pipet, by whatever name. And speaking of names, don't you just love "Marmaduke Tunstall?"

Carr Canyon. Sierra Vista, Arizona. 4/30/2016.
David had this species in this same location some years ago. There were a few in one of the campground areas near the end of the road up top. David suggested we try that location and I am glad he did. This is a rare flycatcher for the USA but it has apparently been becoming more common over the last decade in this part of Arizona.
I photographed this buff banded rail at Corroboree Billabong in the Northern Territory of Australia. They are usually a very shy bird that runs away when they see someone but this one was different and hung around long enough for me to get a few good photos.
