Earlier this week, I was delighted to photograph a migrating Pectoral Sandpiper at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

\"PectoralPectoral Sandpiper in Oklahoma<\/span><\/p>\n

There were Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs foraging alongside the Pectoral Sandpipers. It was fun watching all the shorebirds.<\/p>\n

The last time I photographed Pectoral Sandpipers was in northern Utah in 2015 at Farmington Bay WMA.<\/p>\n

Pectoral Sandpipers<\/span><\/a> don\u2019t breed in Oklahoma. They are simply passing through on their way to the coastal Arctic tundra in extreme Alaska, perhaps somewhere in northern Canada, or even as far away as Siberia.<\/p>\n

Me?<\/p>\n

I’m just happy to see this shorebird species anywhere, anytime. Shorebirds are the spark birds that lit my passion for bird photography.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
