Doug Buri Wasn't Kidding

We're actually supposed to be listening to a class right now, but we're on a break--the shorebirding so far this morning has been FANTABULOUS! Doug wasn't kidding, we totally got within five feet of a least sandpiper (which was advertised). If we had a net with a pole, we could have caught it. More tonight.

While watching some leasts SPs once, I stood still and one went right between my legs and continued feeding. They're so like little wind up toys. Wished I had time to bird again, but those days are gone.
