Solitary Sandpiper
April
22nd
I was playing platform tennis this morning, but Mike went out to Sandhill Crane Wetlands and staked out two Solitary Sandpipers. I met him immediately after my game and also got to see the Solitary. It is a medium-sized slender shorebird with a prominent eye ring and white spots on a dark back. Most shorebirds migrate in flocks, but this bird is usually found alone. It nests in northern spruce bogs and lays its eggs in old songbird nests placed high in trees.
