I didn’t get out this morning, so this evening I followed up on several reports of an UPLAND SANDPIPER from earlier in the day. I was hoping to get some better looks than I did a couple of weeks ago. Well, mission accomplished! I got super lucky with an Upland Sandpiper very close to the road. The bird flushed from some longer grasses as I approached in my car. It posed for a short time right in front of me, and then worked its way along the side of a turf field. It was probably the best/longest Uppy observation that I’ve had, and I was excited and thrilled.
Incredible photos Matt. What a beautiful bird!
Is that a bird or what? What a beauty. Thanks for checking in Silas. Matt
These are wonderful photos. When I was there around 2 lots of heat shimmer and still fairly far away. Not like last time though and at least able to get halfway decent photos.
Thanks Karen. I’m glad you got better looks and some decent photos – last time that bird was DISTANT! Matt
Wonderful pics
Thanks so much, Mary! Matt
