Observation details

Once again, this long-winged Sandpiper showed all of the classic field markers - larger than the nearby Semipalmated Sandpipers (in a couple of the shots), long wings cross over behind, reddish at the base of the lower mandible and flecks on the flanks. I was also struck by its rich tones - the Semi-palmated looks pale by comparison.
