Nobody likes a snitch?

My wife and I were birding by quad several miles up an arroyo west of Los Barriles. While walking to a pond we know of I was stunned to see this bird. We saw one like him in Alaska and, being true to it's name, this guy wandered to Baja Sur. A rare sight for sure. The Wandering Tattler, a member of the sandpiper family acutually got it's name from the habit of tattling on approching preditors by screaming loudly, warning other animals as it departs.

I really like this little guy! I played a bunch enhancing it but went back to the original for my new desktop photo.

BC, My go to camera lense is a Cannon 100-400 IS. Yes, my wife and I have photographed wildlife for years all over the world.
