I was surpirsed to see this guy on my way home from the in-laws' house last night. He was right along the same stretch of road where I see all the burrowing owls -- near a canal at the edge of a field of some kind of crop that I don't recognize... alfalfa maybe?
At any rate, I noted the two stripes across his chest and recognized him as some kind of lanky shorebird. For whatever reason, I always think "sandpiper" when I see this bird. I've never, to my knowledge, actually seen a sandpiper, though. Looked him up to be sure... yup. A killdeer.
