Solitary Sandpiper - Cranbrook, BC
On Sylvan lake in the fall there are several shorebirds stopping over as they fly south. This is a closed lake and is very salty. This little lake at the upper end of Cranbrook, BC is a closed lake where the water flows in but very rarely flows out causes the salinity to be very high. This Solitary Sandpiper was hardly solitary with two others of the same kind and at least a dozen other shorebirds.
