Solitary Sandpiper
A report of not one but two solitary sandpipers in North Davis had me rushing out at lunchtime on the bike (with a tailwind), seeing the bird despite a bevvy of landscape painters around the pond, sketching it for all of 10 seconds, and rushing back (with a headwind). It was probably a 7-mile round trip. A few more of those and I’ll be starting to think I’m training for something.
Bird # 163 for this year’s birds by bicycle…
