for those interested, the Buff-breasted Sandpipe was the 650th bird on my life list. Number 550 was Red-tailed Hawk, the first bird I saw in Canada, and number 600 was Semipalmated Plover, on 21 Aug.

and attached is my attempt to paint the Buff-breasted Sand. The wing details on such a bird are a nightmare for me, so I just attempted a head profile. If people think these are any good these may become a more regular part of the blog.

also looking at the counter, I only need another 14 hits to reach 5000! thank you everybody who has visited this site!
