It’s been close to 15 years since I’ve had the opportunity to photograph one of my favorite bird species, the Buff-breasted Sandpiper. This one was photographed on August 31st at Confluence State Park. Thanks a bunch to Diane Bricmont who first pointed this out to us!

Fantastic series, Bill. If Upland Sandpipers and Buffies were the only birds I saw every year, I’d be OK with that! Hope to see you out on the trail again some day soon-
