Pectoral Sandpiper

Woop! Woop!

Sometimes common birds surprise you. Pectoral Sandpipers migrate through our area, so we see them a couple of times a year. But, hearing one calling in breeding season was eerie. Think about listening to morse code signals sounding like Woop in various tones.

In addition to seeing great birds, it was great to meet nice people like Mike and Karin Warner in Alaska this summer.
Thank you Mike for the great write up on his Alaska birding tour!
