While it was overcast and the tide was out a ways, I still headed out to Boundary Bay to check the tidal flats. There were lots of peeps scattered about.
In particular Western Sandpipers,
… so I decided to spend some time with them.
They were all around and quite comfortable with me tagging along taking photos.
Then one of them in particular caught my eye.
This one stuck out from the others with a distinct buffy breast,
… so I stuck with it for a while.
It also helped that it was being more than cooperative.
Mixed in with this group of Western were some Least Sandpipers,
… and a couple of Semipalmated Plovers.
