It was back to Boundary Bay late this afternoon. The initial walk and check of the tidal pools was only turning up Pectoral Sandpipers.
So I figured why not.
I always enjoy spending time with these cooperative sandpipers.
After my initial approach,
… it was not long before they were in close.
I was also easily moving between the small groups.
Sometimes not even having to do that as one group moved by,
… and another moved in.
Then there were those that just wanted to rest.
On my way back there was plenty of activity with the rising tide. Lots of Black-bellied Plovers, Sanderling and Western Sandpipers. The flocks seemed skittish and always on the move, so I felt it unlikely I would be able to get close enough.
