chipperatl Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Another local birder had this shorebird on Wednesday in a flooded farm field. I think it is a good candidate for White-rumped. What say yee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed hogg Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Looks good to me. Long winged and a long down curved bill. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, since you asked, I'd like to know what it is that appears to be 'bathroom tissue' stuck to this bird's caboose. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasan Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I mean it does look like White rumped but the photos are not good and I can't see the primary projection 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was at this fluddle it had a very Royal Rumble feel to it. I'm guessing those are leftover feathers of the victims of the line survivor, this bird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing this was a joke since sandpipers aren't predatory, but it went over my head like a kettle of migrating raptors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluddle = bigger than mud puddle, smaller than a flooded field Royal Rumble = winner take all wrestling match Yes a joke as it looks like something has torn apart a few dozen other birds there, although guessing the larger number of Sandhills must be dropping feathers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
