It was a rare treat to have one of these stop by for a few hours earlier this summer. Shore birds don't generally find our little pond in the middle of the mountains. There are two very large reservoirs both north and south of here, so I imagine it was just passing through on its way to or from one of them. I'm glad it stopped.

Very interesting photo. Shorebirds are so interesting.
Unexpected Bird Visitors are Always fun to me.
Good discovery.
I found my first Sandpiper last Sunday, supposed to be Common Sandpiper, but not common here.
A real cutie, wish I could get that close to one.
Don't you love it when visitors drop in!?
I love these surprises too. Nice photo.
Beautiful! They are no longer with spots when we see them here in California.
Nice one. Look at him cocking his eye at you. I have never managed a good shot of one.
