saw a spotted sandpiper today so I was looking into them more on All About Birds and this sentence is sending me. calling her out 😭

image id: a screenshot of a paragraph from All About Birds that reads, "Female Spotted Sandpipers sometimes practice an unusual breeding strategy called polyandry, where a female mates with up to four males, each of which then care for a clutch of eggs. One female in Minnesota laid five clutches for three males in a month and a half. This odd arrangement does not happen everywhere and often they are monogamous, with the female pitching in to help a little." The second sentence is highlighted. end id.

Here's MidwinterNight's sweet spotted sandpiper character Quince enjoying a sunrise walk on the beach! 🏖🪶

Both birds and backgrounds are both out of my comfort zone so I had to push myself with this one, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out!!
