Solitary Sandpiper Bird in Canadian Boreal Forest

Solitary sandpiper bird (Tringa solitaria).
In the breeding season these birds live in woods and forests across Canada, eating invertebrates and even frogs from the edges of lakes, ponds and streams. Unlike other sandpipers who nest on the ground, these birds make use of the nests abandoned by songbirds in the high branches of trees. As a largely solitary and dispersed species, it is difficult to census the health of their population.
