Pectoral Sandpiper (Calidris melanotos)

Been here for almost two weeks. Havent had good light, quiet setting for most part until this morning. Wetlands encompass some residual corn fields. Each corn plant is host to aquatic and earth(worms) and number of other invertabrates. Terrestrial insects and corn seems to round out the diet and the birds. As they summer far to the north, they are our welcomed guest.
