Terek Sandpiper
Xenus cinereus
Gambell,
St. Lawrence Island,
Alaska
23 May 2012
This was one of two different Terek Sandpipers we found on the same day. This bird was extremely confiding and allowed a group of us to stand 50 feet away for almost an hour. The bird actively fed and allowed many of us to photograph it extensively. I probably have 100 images of the bird, 2 of which I'll post here.
