zbird Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Every time I see a sandpiper I guess Semipalmated. Northern AK a few weeks ago. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLecy Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 #5 is a Pectoral Sandpiper. Notice the structure, size, and dense stranding on the breast that contrasts with a clean white belly. And it’s legs aren’t black. The rest look like SESAs from what I can tell when looking on my phone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zbird Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 Thanks! Seems like Semipalmated and Pectoral should always be my go-to guesses for northern Alaskan sandpipers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
