smittyone@cox.net Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Seen 2 weeks ago in a flooded farmer's field in NW Missouri. What are these 2 shorebirds? The smaller one I guess could be a Least Sandpiper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Pectoral Sandpiper on the left, Semipalmated on the right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) From another ID request: "Note the pale braces on the shorebird, which, given the rest of the plumage, leaves you only two reasonable choices, Least or Pec. The apparent size and bulky body should rule out the former." The black legs on the right bird rule out Least. BTW, "braces" is the Brit term for "suspenders" Edited August 30, 2020 by Tony Leukering addition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
