millipede Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I have a feeling I asked about this one way back before the site crashed... I have a note in a different color ink that mentions spotted sandpipers(which I don't need help with) as well as least and semipalmated. I don't think, definitely not back then, I would have come up with semipalmated on my own. In these pictures there are four peeps, to me it looks like three are definitely least with one that looks to be lighter and a little larger. could that one be the semipalmated?

akiley Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 3 Least and I agree with Semipalmated, although I'd like to see the bill better to rule out Western. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. I know there's at least 3 least and it's okay if I don't ID the last one. Unless it was a sanderling... then I'd need to know. Got some on my life list out in Massachusetts but would be a great state bird for me... they do happen, supposedly, every so often. They're on the bar charts just often enough that I need to keep my eyes open. 🙂 anyway, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
