Baird's Sandpiper
John McAllister III photographed this Baird's Sandpiper on 13 Aug 2010 at The Nature Conservancy's Big Yellow Mountain Preserve, North Carolina. Big Yellow Mountain is at approximately 5,000 feet elevation and is part of the Greater Roan Mountain Highlands near the Tennessee border. This is thought to be the first high elevation record for the species in North Carolina.
