Buff-breasted sandpiper

Keith McLean Conservation Lands, Ontario, Canada, August 24, 2020.


This was a life bird for me - for non-birders that is first time seeing a bird, and it was only a few kilometres from our place.
Co-operated nicely slowly walking towards our group.
Calidris subruficollis
The Buff-breasted Sandpiper is unique among North American shorebirds in having a lek mating system. Males gather fairly close together and display for females. After mating, females raise their chicks without any help from the male.
