    At last! This pretty wader has been eluding me for a long time! I missed it the entire time I was living in the US, then had a vagrant turn up one hour from my house in France, while I was at the other end of the country, and then dipped it every time I was in Amazonia, where it is a regular passage migrant. But no more! At last, one of my Peruvian nemeses has fallen hahahah! Posted 2 years ago
