MWM Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Taken 8/18/22 at Montezuma NWR NY. Think the 2 on the left are Least, not sure about the 2 on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Stanton Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 The right-most bird appears to have primaries that extend past the tail and some streaking on the breast, plus a weak supercilium- pointing to a White-rumped Sandpiper. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the bird on the right is an adult White-rumped molting out of breeding plumage and the bird in the center is a juvenile White-rumped? im not totally sure about that center bird though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Stanton Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 My gut says the center bird is a Semipalmated Sandpiper. It looks smaller with no supercilium, and missing plumage details that would be expected on other peep spp. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackburnian Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I’m inclined to think both are WRSA. The middle bird is too large in comparison to the adjacent LESA to be a Semipalmated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 I took about 15 pics - all basically identical, with head tucked in. Here are a couple more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
