The Nimble Whimbrel - Shorebirds - Baylands Nature Preserve - Palo Alto

I was focused on filming flocks of peeps and waders as the tide was going out at Adobe Creek, when suddenly a Whimbrel (Numeneus phaeopus) appeared on the embankment about 20 meters away, foraging up and down the rocks and cement slabs and heading in my direction. The bird is about 2 meters away at 4:02.
From mid-September. The Whimbrel is in non-breeding plumage.

Welcome to BIRDING VISIONS - portraits and sound recordings of birds and their habitats, sharing the sublime beauty of nature. These wildlife videos are both documentary and impressions of an experience. I hope you get a sense of being there: from the Rock Wren of Willis Creek Slot Canyon, Utah, singing Whinchat in the rugged heathland of coastal Norway, a band of Arabian Babblers in Israel, to soaring Kites over Kyoto, Japan.
The playlists are organized by geographical region and topic (singing birds, shorebirds, etc). The 200+ videos are from many different places across the globe, with a focus on birds of North America and the Western Palearctic, including Europe, Israel and Morocco. This is a non-monetized no-ads channel. Contact [e-mail] for licensing of footage and other enquiries.
