Whimbrel & Black-bellied Plover

While I knew some work was being done along the Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway it was fairly quiet on my last visit. Today, on the other hand, it was well underway with trucks and excavators in a few spots on both sides of the causeway. It put a bit of a damper on my walk but,

Still reluctant to let me get too close,

Odd man out along the causeway this afternoon,

Perhaps being on its own was why it was cooperative and allowing to walk along with it. Given the work going on, I did not try getting to the end to check for Turnstones.
