Juvenile Buff-breasted Sandpiper.
Here is one last image of this beautiful specimen before I close the chapter on this species for this year (except in the unlikely event of another encounter!). In this frame I liked how the grasses look like green flames surrounding the bird :-) Hard to tell from this small size, but that is a tasty morsel hanging on the bill...
