I should've mentioned it was bobbing like a spotted sandpiper. Yes, very good bird here! Only the second time I've ever seen one. This birding hotspot (giant lake in southern Nevada), looking at the bar graph data on eBird, a solitary sandpiper has never been seen here outside of July / August / September. There was also a cattle egret here today, which I've only seen in July in past years.

Today in southern Nevada. Thanks!

Final comment from me I think. 🙂 The other birder sent me this photo and says it's a Franklin's.

I ran into a birder who had seen it at the same time and taken this photo below. I couldn't tell if this is a Bonaparte's or Franklin's. Both are possible.

Today in southern Nevada. Before dawn and a little too far for a better photo. Thanks!

I see, thank you. I won't make that mistake again. The final bird is also an Anna's and not a black-chinned?

Not sure if I'm looking at broad-tailed or Annas. Today in southern Nevada, higher elevation of about 4,000 ft. Thanks!
