FrenchgirlinTO2 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Hi, I saw this / those birds in Toronto, ON, in July. So am I correct by saying that since they have yellow legs they are Least Sandpipers? thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akandula Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Nice photos! I agree with Least Sandpiper. Along with the yellow legs, note the very small size, thin, decurved black bill, rusty, rich brown upperparts, and a heavily streaked breast. Even though the yellow legs are very distinctive, beware Pectoral Sandpipers which are much larger and have a darker shield of streaking on their breast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
