We got excellent looks at a Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos) that was walking along the sandy shore of the Zambezi River above Victoria Falls the morning of August 25, 2012. We were out on an early morning boat trip to bird and look for big game in the Mosi-oa-Tunya (smoke that thunders) National Park's shoreline areas. Temperatures on this sunny day were in the upper 60's. A white pectoral region that extends up onto the shoulder is visible. It is noted for frequently bobbing its hindquarters. A dark rump is visible when the bird is in flight as are a white wing-bar and outer tail feathers.
