Solitary Sandpiper (<i><a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tringa_solitaria" title="Tringa solitaria">Tringa solitaria</a></i>). The white belly almost ruined the photo, but not quite. Near Mono Lake, California. The amazing thing about this day was that there were 5 Solitary Sandpipers feeding here, in close proximity. Not very solitary, this group. Note how the light reflects off the ripples and cause horizontal lines on the belly.
