Media notes
Juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper (right) with Dunlin
Observation details
Found by other birders. Watched at reasonably close range feeding with various shorebirds, including Dunlin for comparison. Features noted include sharply demarcated breast band above clean white belly (with just a few faint short streaks on hind flanks), darker cap and eystripe/upper cheek separated by paler supercilium, warmish pale rufous fringes to many feathers in upperparts (though some scapulars often with contrasting white distal edge to outer web), and dull greenish-yellow legs.
