Little Stint Foraging in Shallow Wetland Waters
Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:40:37 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
This photograph captures a small shorebird, likely a dunlin or stint in breeding plumage, wading in shallow, mirror-like water. The bird is caught in the act of feeding, its long black bill pointed downward toward the water's surface. The calm blue water creates perfect reflections of bare branches and reeds that frame the scene. The bird displays characteristic mottled brown and white plumage with rufous tones visible on its back and head. Gentle ripples emanate from where the bird stands, breaking the otherwise glassy surface of this serene wetland habitat.
