Kevin Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Sparrow is White-throated. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I think the sandpiper is a Dunlin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I agree, White-throated for the sparrow. Pass on the sandpiper, I'm not good at that type of thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Okay, what do we think it is? Western? I confess to being on a phone but that bill droop looks significant to me. Edited October 17, 2022 by Charlie Spencer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiscalus quiscula Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Just now, Charlie Spencer said: Back on the 24" monitor, and I can't find a trace of yellow on the legs. Remember lighting, mud, etc. but I'm not going to contribute more on this one because I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan B Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) I'm pretty sure the first sandpiper is a White-rumped. Long dark bill, dark legs, grayish back, white supercilium, the long slender look to the bird, and finally and most importantly, those wings are extending quite far out beyond the tail. Pretty slam dunk White-rumped Sandpiper IMO. Edited October 17, 2022 by Aidan B 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWM Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 Thanks all, I was thinking Semipalmated for the 1st pic, but WRSA makes sense. I was fairly sure on the last pic being a Dunlin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
