This morning one of my birding stops was Lakeshore State Park along the Lakefront in Milwaukee. I heard of a Buff-breasted Sandpiper being reported there so I thought I might as well check that out. I talked with a group of birders on their way out of the park and they saw the bird and pointed out where it was seen. It gave great looks in the mowed grass field while it found things to eat. It was an exciting event. Thanks to the birder who found this rare bird and got the word out. It was a calm day with some sun and pleasant temps in the morning. Images were taken on August 26, 2026.
The Buff-breasted Sandpiper, what a beautiful bird!
Looking for something to eat here…

That was an exciting site! Such a beautiful bird! The markings are so striking! There’s a sweet, softness about its face.💜🤗
Thanks for sharing, Jim! As usual your pictures are gorgeous! Never get tired of looking at them!
