deaditeash Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 180th Street Marsh, Dakota County, MN. 09/21/23. 6pm. I was watching a pair of Snipes and then noticed this interesting group further west in the dry mud flats. There is another Snipe in the middle but I was thinking the small one to the left was a Least Sandpiper but what is the seemingly larger squat one to the right? It seems bigger than the Snipe with a longer bill and pudgier shape, a darker crown but the back markings of the Snipe. These were quite far away at edge of my 600mm reach...
