Blenheim - An uncommon migrant. I sat on the grass and waited. After a short time the bird walked to within six feet. That's why shorebirds can be fun to work with if you play the waiting game rather than chasing, which seldom works.

Ahmad Shah: Great find. Well done.
BrianMorin: I couldn't believe my luck with this species. There were five birds present – my previous experience over the years has only been with single birds.

Crysler - Nice to see an adult of this uncommon species. There are very few areas for us to check for shorebirds this year so it was nice to see a spot along a river with good habitat and several dozen birds.

Chris: Absolutely stunning!
BrianMorin: I spent a few hours walking in the middle of a river (50 metres wide) to get shorebird shots and while it never came super close it was enough to get one like this. Water was only about 2-10" deep and the river base in this zone was flat rock so an easy effort.

Ingleside - Regionally uncommon and locally even harder to find. This bird was with Lesser Yellowlegs and came towards us, approaching as close as four metres.

Ingleside - This bird was feeding with Lesser Yellowlegs for a nice comparison. Note light eye stripe and slightly decurved bill tip. Bird is a bit smaller than Yellowlegs and legs are greeny-yellow.
