Baird's Sandpiper

A first for me. According to my Sibley's Guide these are juvenile/immature birds.

Love the angle of the first one as it is digging for crustaceans.

Ive only seen one of these briefly, so its nice to see a good photo with plenty of detail showing off this wader well.

Thank you Brian.

Great shots, John. I've photographed them here, locally, but very poorly. Well done.

Thank you Al. I got lucky I think that they were quite accommodating. Or maybe it is very hungry.

very nice John- shorebirds remain almost impossible for me to ID with any accuracy

Thanks Bob. They are very difficult. It is all about subtle differences. Sometime extremely subtle.

Excellent shots John.

Thank you Red

Nice shots.

Thank you Trevor

Nice shots, John! Peeps are always hard to photograph and identify, at least for me.
