Colorado Birder Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Sanderling do appear here but considered uncommon and/or rare. Thanks Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 These are definitely not Sanderlings, but rather peeps of some sort. I think they look good for Baird’s Sandpiper with those long wings, but definitely wait for more opinions. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
