Ottawa - A great regional bird dropped in with a mixed flock of peeps. Being a juvenile it was quite accommodating of the attention it attracted.

Chris: Fabulous. For the non-birdwatcher, just another bird. For those in the know, one of the most interesting species on earth 😁 (I’m referring to the migration)
BrianMorin: Agreed and a threatened species. Their numbers have declined significantly in the last 40 years.
