Altitude seems to count for nothing with them, and I have seen two or more pairs nesting on the banks of a mountain tarn almost 3, 000 feet above sea-level. However, they seem to be in no hurry to arrive on the high ground, and they are usually seen at the mouth of a river a day or so before their advent is recorded on its upper reaches. When brooding, the Sandpiper is sometimes a very close sitter, and will almost allow herself to be taken with the hand. When at last she sees that further dece...ption is useless she flutters off, hissing loudly, and trailing her wings along the ground in the attempt to draw the intruder from her nest. But once she knows that her secret has been discovered, she no longer sits closely, but slips off the eggs long before you are near. Whether the Sandpiper is a close sitter or not depends a great deal on her surroundings. Should BIRDS OF LOCH AND MOUNTAIN 87 the nest be well concealed under a bush or tuft of grass, then the mother bird will sit until you have almost trampled on her ; but, on the other hand, when the nest is placed in an open situation, the bird is a very light sitter and will leave the NEST AND EGGS OF SANDPIPER.
