Title: White-rumped vs. Baird's sandpiper
Post by: gary yankech on September 07, 2015, 02:35:31 PM

Well, I thought I had it correct, but after seeing Paul's shot (same place, Presqu'ile), I'm not sure. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I think yours are Baird's, see a shot from a while back during the late fall on amherst island of a white rumped sandpiper.
