Media notes

Single Least Sandpiper foraging solo in flooded agriculture field, near-- but not with-- flock of approx 150 Least Sandpipers. Flew and joined the larger flock when the flock was flushed by a harrier. Giving this vocalization in an upright posture interspersed with probing mud for food. Bird recorded from 30-40m, with good visuals of it making this call sequence. Light too poor to get an accurate age assessment.
