The white-rumped sandpiper, also known as Bonaparte's sandpiper, can at times be found anywhere in Texas, but is very common along the Texas coast.

The flight note of the white-rumped sandpiper is a sharp, bat-like "tzeet" which sounds like two marbles being struck together.  In spring, flocks twitter like swallows.

This image is from the Charles Beckendorf Texas Wildlife book. The original was an acrylic painting on canvas (1992) and the size is approximately 14 X 11 inches.  The total edition size of this print is 500.
