Wide-horizontal skulking posture often mentioned in the literature for this species.
Observation details
Depending on its posture, the Baird's Sandpiper can look "dainty" at times. But the long primaries extending beyond its tail feathers practically scream "I'm a Baird's Sandpiper." This bird was foraging hyper-actively above the tideline in drier areas with the Least Sandpipers.
