Profile of a Buff-Breasted Sandpiper at the Beach Tote Bag
Bring a bit of nature with you, wherever you go, with this wildlife-themed tote!
An unusual bird to see in Metro Vancouver during the fall migratory bird season, this Buff-Breasted Sandpiper was one of two I had the opportunity to photograph up close, and one of five spotted here in 2016. Like the Sanderling, the BBSA is exceedingly comfortable around humans.
The BBSA is special for another reason: fewer than 80,000 individuals are estimated worldwide (per data from migration sites and its allaboutbirds.org/guide/Buff-breasted_Sandpiper/id profile; actual figures are difficult to obtain, as it does not always exhibit nest fidelity), making it a Near Threatened species. Its dainty, dove-like head, short bill, and buff coloration make it one of the easier peeps to identify. It is a transcontinental bird, flying northwards to breed in the arctic, and wintering in South America.
Rather comically, this one spent some time chasing the other one off. Apparently, it wanted the attention of the photographers all to itself! When it wasn't hogging the limelight, it made sure every lens was trained on it -- regardless of what it was doing -- foraging, resting on the grass, or grooming its feathers. Photographed in late August 2016.

Totally thrilled with this bag. The material is thick and durable (this is my third purchase of this tote bag). The printing turned out amazing. The bright red was just as bright as it is on the computer. So impressed with this bag.

Just wow! So thrilled with the quality of this bag; it's strong material yet light and well made. The printing is immaculate. The brights turned out just like the computer image.

All-Over-Print Tote, Cross-Body Bag, Medium
Creator Review
I wasn't sure if there would be much inside the bag, as the product description was light on details, but much to my delight I found several pockets inside, including one that zips shut to secure money or other things you want to keep separate. The material is thinner and softer than I expected, but has two layers, which is really nice. The inside is black, and looks great with the straps.
Overall the bag is comfortable, hangs well and looks great. The image looks great, the print is where I expected and the details come through. Colour vibrancy is good, but the darks don't go as deep as they could. Not a problem with most images, but keep in mind the straps are significantly darker than the "blacks" in the print can be.
