A pectoral sandpiper in shallow water.

Pectoral Sandpiper

Sainte-Martine, Québec

A pectoral sandpiper pauses from foraging in the shallow Châteauguay river in some absolutely picture-perfect golden light. At least one of these sandpipers usually comes through the river park in Sainte-Martine during fall migration, but there's no guarantee they show up in good weather or for any longer than a day. I made sure to spend the entire session photographing this bird, since I didn't know if I'd get another chance after that.
