Upland Sandpiper

Ensley area; Shelby Co, TN

At least 5 Uplands on the day always makes for a good day. But, seeing an Upland perched 90 feet above the ground is especially notable.

In this shot the bird is about 16 feet above the ground, but when it left this line, it flew around and finally settled on the upper run of the big transmission lines coming from the power plant, at about 90 feet over the ground!
