Title: Baird’s Sandpiper at Laguna Chaxa

Description: A Baird’s sandpiper forages along the shores of Laguna Chaxa, Chile, during its remarkable migration journey. These small shorebirds travel thousands of miles between Arctic breeding grounds and South American wintering areas. The high-altitude salt flats of Chile’s Atacama region provide crucial stopover habitat where these birds refuel on invertebrates before continuing their epic transcontinental journey.
