Western Sandpiper - Richmond     Using a sun-bleached log as a roost several Western Sandpipers were catching the last of the sun rays for the day. This is our most common sandpiper during migration and can be told by the long drooping bill and rust on the wings during the non breeding months. During breeding, they have more rust on the head, back and wings and have checking along their sides and flank. These hardy little birds breed along the West Coast of Alaska and spend winter on both Us Coasts and the Northern coast of South America.      Michael Klotz - www.TheBirdBlogger.com
