Observation details
Single small shorebird feeding with Semipalmated and Least sandpipers. These photos were taken while the birds were feeding close to the road, but this only lasted a short time before the birds flushed and then remained distant. The observation period lasted less than one minute, and details were seen only after examining these photos. Field marks shown here include rusty scapulars, and rusty crown and ear patch. Body size, bill and leg color, bill thickness and length all are consistent with Western sandpiper. Knowledgeable birders consulted include Thomas Schultz, Mark Korducki and Jon Dunn. Photos are cropped but remain at original resolution, with only minimal correction for lighting, and sharpening applied only to photo C.
