Pectoral Sandpiper

Graubrust-Strandläufer

Pectoral sandpipers move along steadily with their heads down, picking up prey on the surface and probing lightly into the sand or mud. When the bird is disturbed, it stands upright with the neck extended, peering over the grass. Oyster Bay, Vancouver Island, BC. Canada
