I was taking pics of the purple martin when this least sandpiper flew very close to me and started sifting thru the sands. I was on my belly in all of these shots.

#1 These 1st 2 shots, when the sandpiper saw me taking pics on my belly, he tried to hide on this small dead tree/branch.

Great series Jo, the last shot is my favourite, like a child who's just discovered how to blow bubbles through a straw :)
