I just like the flow of rushing water and colorful reflections around the sandpiper.

Least Sandpiper
Sainte-Martine, Quebec

Only the second time visiting Sainte-Martine
(the first time being a week before). Turns out it's an amazing place to view shorebirds relatively close to home.

This particular photo was taken from about 4.8m (at 825mm focal length). There were several of these small birds foraging in the river, along with larger yellowlegs, semipalmated plovers, semipalmated sandpipers, a heron and several ducks.

Seen on mudflats at Vaudreuil Bay, Quebec. The water level was very low.

On spotting me, the sandpiper quickly moved away from the cache of shells seen to the left.
