AlexGeorge Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Taken Today - South Shore of the Great Salt Lake, Utah There have been a variety of sandpipers spotted here recently. This photo might have a couple different species. Is the far left a Sanderling? The others it seems must be either Western Sandpiper, Baird's, or Semipalmated Sandpiper. I am a shorebird rookie. Thanks for the help!! ( I do have more close up shots of individuals, let me know if need more photos) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan B Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 All Sanderling. I love that second photo and how it shows a comparison of the molt into breeding plumage! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
