Hello Tweeters



A few days ago after about 30 minutes of standing still at the outer
perimeters of the first pond near the entrance of Edie Road, about 50
sandpipers flew in within 2 feet from where I was standing / kneeling.
Sandpipers can be challenging at a distance even with a scope so this was my
experiment which worked at very close range. Some were so close I could
almost reach out and hand feed. I opted to produce a video shoot of both
Least and Western Sandpipers in breeding plumage from just a few feet away



If you are confused by both, the on screen labeling and screen tips at the
below video sequence I pieced together may help you sort ID points out.



Hope you find this educational and insightful
