Pectoral Sandpiper

After a couple of chores around the house were completed, the wife and cats napping, I snuck out to Boundary Bay. The Buff-breasted Sandpiper was still being seen yesterday so the hope today was for some closer looks than I got on Friday. It was fairly quiet with not many birds around once I got out to the area of the piling between 96 & 104 St. Just a few Least Sandpipers in addition to a handful of Pectoral Sandpipers.

While they spent some time wondering around foraging for food,

… they spent as much time hunkered down resting. While some more Pectoral and Least Sandpipers showed up, there was no sign of the Buff-breasted before I had to leave.
