Observation details

I met up with Greg Gough and he took me down to The Point beach where we were instantly greeted by a White-rumped Sandpiper that Greg had mentioned had been very cooperative, with views, earlier in the morning. Photos of it (slightly larger/more stippled-like pattern on upper breast and those markings extending further down than markings on Semipalmated) on pebbled beach next to Semipalmated. I then believe I have two more photographed from Gordon's Pond area. Both stood above the nearby Semipalmated Sandpiper. There is hints of rufous scapulars on middle one that I believe may be a juvenile and the bill slightly curves down near tip. The one to the left, I believe, is a nonbreeding/first summer plumage with duller feathers that were more leaning towards a bit of a grayish color.
