Spotted Sandpiper nest site in front of observer.
Observation details
We found a nest on a gravel bar soon after we began walking downstream. There was a sparse cover of small (to 20 cm) vegetation around the nest, and willows within 10 m. A lone bird was seen at the site of the nest, but upon our approach, it quickly and without much fuss moved away to the river bank (15 m away) where we lost track of it. The nest was loosely made of dry grass and leaves and contained four brown, speckled eggs. On the remainder of our trip down the river we saw one additional Spotted Sandpiper along the riverbank well downstream.
