White-rumped Sandpipers

 White-rumped Sandpipers are park of a group of smaller sandpipers collectively called peep - presumably because of their calls, usually a single uttered squeak of some variety. This species tends to arrive a little later than others in this group and leaves later as well. These shots were taken October 25.





White-breasted Nuthatches

 A few shots of White-breasted Nuthatches from this Autumn. I believe there were just two here, a male and a female. The male is the one with the solid black cap. The female has a dark gray cap merging with black at the back.
