This is the time of year to see non-resident sandpipers as they pass through our region. I already showed a Greater Yellowlegs. Here are two more seen this morning: a Solitary Sandpiper and … well, I don’t know what the second one is.
A Solitary Sandpiper looks for delectables so as to refuel before continuing its journey south.
I did not know what this bird is. After a number of visually similar sandpipers were suggested, four experts now assure me that it is a Least Sandpiper. Thank you all.
Alistair: A bit off on the migration path, but that looks to me like a Baird’s sandpiper, which I have seen in abundance in the Arctic. But my certainty is not high.
Cheers

this would be a Least Sandpiper with the pale green legs.
