geoffclarke Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I have VERY limited experience with shorebirds. Both pictures in the last few days in Saint Joseph, MI, Southeast corner of Lake Michigan. 1. Low light in the evening. Guessing Sanderling because of lack of hind toe? But the beak doesn't seem right? I don't know...might be normal. 2. Semipalmated Sandpiper because of partially-webbed toes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psweet Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Agreed, but I'll point out that Western Sandpipers also have partially webbed feet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
