smittyone@cox.net Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Seen last week at DeSoto NWR near MIssouri Valley, IA. Let's see if I'm learning anything from you guys. I think the two smaller birds in the foreground are Least Sandpipers and the larger bird in the background is a Pectoral Sandpiper. Am I correct?

akandula Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 The foreground birds are indeed Least Sandpipers, but the background bird is a Sanderling. Pectoral Sandpipers are more brown on top, have yellow legs, and a dark breast. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smittyone@cox.net Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Well, at least I'm learning something. Plus on the bright side, the Sanderling is a new Lifer bird for me! Yeah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
