JamesM Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Taken Sunday, 50 Kms east of Toronto. Dark legs and plumage seems to suggest semipalmated sandpiper...I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have its foot in the second photo either. But, yes, it could just be keeping its foot in its feathers.

The Bird Nuts Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I saw a Least Sandpiper once hopping around on one leg and I thought it had lost it, but then I looked at it again and it was walking on two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbirds Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Same thing happened with a Willet I saw. Shorebirds sure are funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 That bird is missing its right foot below the "ankle." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
