Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:40:39 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
A small shorebird, likely a juvenile White-rumped Sandpiper in winter or transitional plumage, forages along the mudflat at the water's edge. The bird is captured mid-probe, its black bill dipped into the shallow water searching for invertebrates. The calm water creates mirror-like reflections of vegetation in the background, while the muddy shoreline shows subtle textures and moisture. The peaceful wetland setting captures a typical moment in the bird's feeding behavior during migration or wintering season.
