Rock Sandpiper (Calidris ptilocnemis) - Delta, BC

            I haven't really picked up a camera since my dad died been too sad. I am still so sad missing him but it was nice to photograph something again. This species is rare in Vancouver especially in the mostly alternate plumage it is sporting here. Soon it will change into a white face and black belly with more rufous and black feathers on the mantle. I am afraid that before it does this though it will be on its way to its arctic breeding grounds.
