arube570 Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Thanks for all the replies. I thought it was spotted but was not sure. Now I know it is a solitary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) If it's got spots and not bars on the wing coverts and scapulars, then it's not a Spotted Sandpiper. https://cobirds.org/Publications/ColoradoBirds/InTheScope/93.pdf Edited October 17, 2020 by Tony Leukering emphasis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
