Detalhes da observação
Juvenile. Close to Least Sandpipers but not feeding with them. 'Peep-like' shorebird with low, creeping carriage working through vegetation, difficult to observe, and a challenge to document. Larger than Least Sandpiper though much smaller than Killdeer both of which were close by. Looked very long winged and attenuated with primary tips projecting well beyond longest tertial. Absolutely classic 'wheetabix' pattern on the upper parts. Rather cold, sandy-gray brown above but neatly enhanced by immaculate broad white fringes to coverts creating uniform scaly pattern, typical of juvenile Baird's. Did not have yellowish or golden fringes to the upperparts such as Least or Pectoral Sandpipers (seen here on Sunday). Head and upper chest rather warmer than the upperparts being brighter gingery buff and contrasting with the clean white belly and underparts. Legs and bill appeared black at this range. Difficult to see well and foraging alone most of the time. Impossible to ID without a scope.
