This bird (seen yesterday by San Francisco Bay) was in close company with a large number of Western Sandpipers you helped me identify. But this bird does not have the jet black legs of those Western Sandpipers. It's legs are yellow-ish, if not yellow, and I'm wondering if it could be a Least Sandpiper. Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks so much!

My guess is that this is a Western Sandpiper coming into breeding plumage, but I'd appreciate your yea's or nay's. Thanks! EDIT: Sorry, forgot to add that this bird was seen today by San Francisco Bay.

Shore birds -- Whimbrel and ... ?
Mark F replied to Mark F's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Hey that’s great! Short-billed Dowitcher is a lifer — thanks! -
I'm not a natural at identifying birds, and shore birds are my worst. I photographed these birds rummaging together yesterday by San Francisco Bay. Pretty sure the bigger one is a Whimbrel, but no idea about the smaller ones behind the Whimbrel and as a pair in the other photo. Seems their beaks are too short for Marbled Godwit and too long for anything else I can think of. Thanks for your help!

Thanks to both. I thought that the white forehead on the first indicated non-breeding Common, but I see that’s not the case necessarily.

I saw these two terns today by San Francisco Bay. I think they are Common and Forster's, but I'd sure like to hear what you think. Many thanks.

Saw these grebes yesterday on San Francisco Bay. I'm pretty sure they're Clark's Grebes, except I'm a bit confused by the one with the "underbite". It's lower bill extends beyond the upper in the manner of a skimmer. Is this a deformity? Or perhaps an injury?

Thanks! That’s a fascinating part of the world you live in. Haha, ravens huh. Now I have to give my daughter the opportunity to say, I told you so. She’ll love it. ?
