Legs seem a bit short for a Yellowlegs, I think maybe this is a juvenile Spotted Sandpiper? LikeLike November 3, 2016 at 1:19 pm Reply
Thanks Paul, we have seen plenty of adult spotted Sandpipers and thought this looked like a sandpiper but without spots on this one I thought otherwise. I appreciate your insight and am lucky to have you thoughts to help with the ID. Thanks. LikeLiked by 1 person November 3, 2016 at 2:17 pm Reply
