Thank you Soheil, that's beautiful video that shows just how small and
beautiful Samipalmated Sandpipers are.
I found this article, written by Shiloh ,on the Manomet website. If you
poke a round a little, you'll find pictures of him on the website too. I
didn't know him, but I have a lot of respect for Manomet and its mission.
They must feel this loss so deeply.
