Buff-breasted Sandpiper Metrobeach

Took a quick trip to Metrobeach before work this morning to see if there was anything on the beach... Nothing on the main beach but as I moved toward the rocky area on the way to the point there was a Buff-breasted Sandpiper working the beach and grass area... I almost scared him off until Tom Heatly waved his arms and pointed him out.... Thanks Tom!!!   Got a few pictures.... click to enlarge....

Preened for a few minutes while I sneaked up on him
