Buff-breasted Sandpiper

While walking the fields at Loop Head this afternoon I came upon this juvenile Buff-breasted Sandpiper in the plover fields on the north side of the peninsula.  The bird arrived into the field while I was checking it and was very wary. I managed to get a few long distant record shots before the bird took off and flew inland and eastwards.
