LorraineCO Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Adams County CO, last weekend. One larger shorebird amongst lots of Baird's Sandpipers and Killdeer. I have no idea. Legs did not appear yellow, Stilt maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmilingBirder Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Possibly solitary sandpiper, judging partly by the dark shoulders. Another possibility would be willet, but I don't think it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psweet Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 This looks like a Lesser Yellowlegs to me. The overall back color and the face pattern aren't right for a Solitary, and the legs look yellow in the second shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamRHead Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 The leg length looks good for yellow legs, but the bill is decurved. Is that just camera distortion? Also the right leg looks pretty bulky... Mud or more distortion? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorraineCO Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Thanks for the suggestions. It was pretty muddy, it was also quite distant and the photo is cropped, so shape could be distorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
