Least Sandpiper w/ bonus Sparrow and Osprey

Went out before some storms rolled through today; got really lucky and found some Least Sandpipers, and got some nice views of a Savannah Sparrow and nearby Osprey, working on its nest.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Nice set! We had a least sandpiper sighting as well here in Portland last week, but I didn't have time to go and see it.

Thanks Sam! They're *so* small, it was fun to see them running around.
