Daily Postcard: This Solitary Sandpiper was seen May 2 at the pond behind the Water Treatment Plant in White Rock. According to All About Birds and the Audubon Society, these birds are robin-sized. They are also long distance migrants, breeding in Canada and Alaska but migrating, sometimes through parts of New Mexico, almost always to Central and South America and the Caribbean. Apparently, they migrate alone and mostly at night. They nest in bogs in arctic regions called ‘muskegs’. Photo by Richard Skolnik
