A rock jetty into the Pacific Ocean protects a harbor at Ocean Shores, WA. It attracts 3 "rock-piper" species, Black Turnstones 60%, Surfbirds 30% and Rock Sandpipers 10%. But the last two look much the same. The Rock Sandpipers have a longer bill. My picture shows a longer bill. My picture is at: https://pbase.com/alndonna/image/170390298
