Buff-breasted Sandpiper, juvenile, Morro Bay Sandspit_San Luis Obispo County, California,1 Sep 1990, Tom M. Edell
Detalhes da observação
juvenile. Bird found with a Golden Plover (gone today) on Morro Bay Sandspit by Eric Johnson the previous day. I found the BBSA associating with three Semipalmated Plovers at the waters edge. It was along the sand and in beached macrocystis and had the habitat of hunkering down in foot print depressions in the sand. My first impression was of a slim Pectoral Sandpiper size bird. It was larger than the plovers with longer yellow legs. It had a short thin bill (shorter than a Pectoral Sandpiper) and a round hear. The lighting was rather poor a the sun was straight offshore [behind the bird] and low. Plumage wise I would say it was pale below becoming buffy in the breast and a warmer buff in the face. I saw no streaking on the head, nape or sides of the breast. The face seemed to show a conspicuous thick white eye ring. The bill was dark. Back and wings were brown with light beige feather edgings. Nape and cap were buff colored. It did not call. The bird was later collected by Greg Smith.
