Here’s a comparison of Semipalmated with a Least. So I think we can see actual black legs here on this sandpiper. It’s a short-winged bird; wings are just atop tail. Bill is short and pretty straight. Overall coloration is fairly pale, not brown. Baird’s and Least are brown-hued birds. Both also have a chest coloration…
I’m not at home, but neighbor asking me about “ those birds flying over in V formation “ = Sandhills. Eyes to the skies!! And ears!! My favorite sound!!!
Speaking of sandpipers: here’s another one someone can ID.
Here’s a good one. At Hornsby now if any want to come down.
The TBRC is pleased to announce that both Steller’s Sea-Eagle and Limpkin have been added to the official State List, bringing it to 657! The Steller’s Sea-Eagle is perhaps one of the more unexpected addition in recent years, with an adult bird seen and photographed by Kris & Jeff Groscop and Gene & Sandi Roesler…
