Field Notes

Description:

Also known as the Buff-bellied Pipit, this is a small songbird found on both sides of the Pacific. It has lightly streaked grey-brown upperparts and is diffusely streaked below on the buff breast and flanks. This one was eating lunch...

Habitat:

Breeds in the tundra.

Notes:

There were approximately 30 Pipits on migration along the side of a local reservoir. They are easily disturbed so I lucky to get this photograph.
