Baird's sandpiper

Baird's sandpiper is a small shorebird known for its long wings and slender build. It typically migrates from its breeding grounds in the Arctic regions of Canada and Alaska to winter in Central and South America. This bird has a distinctive brown and white plumage, which helps it blend into its sandy habitats. Baird's sandpipers primarily feed on insects and small invertebrates found in mudflats and coastal areas. Their migration pattern is remarkable, covering thousands of miles, and they are often spotted during migratory seasons along shorelines and wetlands.
