Last week's speedster running down the beach was a Sanderling. For this week we explore the southwest once again for a bird you'll only find in a small area within the continental U.S.

Being Friday, the latest edition of Loose Feathers is up at A D.C. Birding Blog; the newest edition of I and the Bird is also up at 10,000 Birds. This is the 3rd anniversary edition -congratulations to Mike as well everyone who has hosted or contributed over these past three years!
