dickerst Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 unsure of what this is. the closest I could find on allaboutbirds is Ruddy Turnstone (Non-breeding). But they aren't supposed to be in the southern California Desert areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) That’s a Spotted Sandpiper. The barring on the wings makes it a juvenile. Edited September 10, 2020 by akandula 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) I've seen Rudy Turnstone at the Salton Sea before, I think they migrate through the area. And yes, It's a Spotted Sandpiper Edited September 10, 2020 by Connor Cochrane Addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Not saying this is one, but how do we rule out Common Sandpiper? Just curious. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has plain tertials/back, a short tail, etc. Definitely not a Common. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
