Least Sandpiper

A long-time reader, Jerry, sent some images for me to feature as the "image of the day". He referred to these as "some friends to help you tend your wing".

Some road construction created some temporary mudflats where many shorebirds found excellent feeding, including this least sandpiper, Calidris minutilla. I like this picture because of the texture the rippling water adds.
