Upland Sandpiper (Bartramia longicauda)
Date: 9 August 2008
Location: Village Creek Drying Beds (Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas, United States)
Trip: Village Creek 080809
Number observed: 1
Notes:
Great looks at this bird feeding in the grass on a small 'island' in one of the beds. Noted two-toned bill and tail longer than wingtips. Saw it eat a largish arthropod that may have been a Red Legged Purseweb Spider. Shook it around a bit and then finally gulped it down.
