Title: Unidentified Shorebird (but he's cute and small)
Post by: jackbreakfast on August 26, 2011, 04:20:09 PM: Hello
I hope it's alright; I've posted twice in two days. I took a picture of this shorebird this morning. Does anyone know the identity of this little bird?
Thank you for your consideration,
Jack Breakfast

Nice picture.

As you might guess from my avatar, Solitary Sandpiper is one of may favourites.
