Chris: Stunning bird, lighting and textures of that ground.
Brian Morin: Stunning is right. This bird tops the shorebird list. It was about 8m away. It came in from 75 m out as soon as it saw me because it had four chicks running around on a mud bar.

Strathroy - A pair bred here last year. A male has returned but there was no female yet. The next closest breeding is possibly Manitoba (rarely) and Saskatchewan but mainly Alberta. It's a great find.
