This Solitary Sandpiper is the newest addition to the
Critters of Cascade Ramblings. It is somewhat of a rare bird for the region and
a first for me, so a new addition to my Life List. I spotted it along Rickreall Creek last week
when we were in Dallas. At first sight
with the naked eye I thought it was a Spotted Sandpiper, but when I looked
closer with my binoculars I realized it was not, and began to think of Yellowlegs,
maybe Greater Yellowlegs or Lesser Yellowlegs, but troubled about the size. Because I was able to take several photos, and
later down-load them to the computer, then take a closer look and search several
birding guides I finally figured out that I had a Solidary Sandpiper.
