2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Least Sandpiper, Jericho Park, Vancouver (British Columbia), Canada, Canada
Least Sandpiper Feeding on the Main Pond at Jericho Park

Species: Least Sandpiper | Location: Jericho Park, Vancouver (British Columbia), Canada, Canada

This Least Sandpiper was an expected surprise found on the main pond in Jericho Park in Vancouver (British Columbia), Canada. It was surprisingly fearless as it very successfully foraged for food in the shallow water. I was able to capture several good images of this bird, including this one, which provided me with a nice water reflection shot.

About The Photographer

I am a lifelong birder and photographer who found his inspiration on North America's Pacific Northwest Coast (in British Columbia, Canada). Although I specialize in bird photos, I am also fascinated by all that nature can throw at me. I've even been known to be inspired by people and their constructions!
