Observation details

Continuing individual in Field #7 - loosely associating with the American Pipits and would usually fly if they were flushed. The sandpiper flew once over to the wetlands, but it flew back to the field shortly after. The bird is pretty obliging with photos as I sat down maybe 30 feet away, and it would walk within 10 feet of me eventually.
