2011: Pectoral Sandpiper (Calidris
melanotos) and Shorebirds migrating south from the Arctic begin arriving in early August. Pectorals are tall sandpipers with dark streaked breasts, yellowish legs, and two-toned bills. Semipalmated Sandpipers are much smaller with black feet and bills and light throats and breasts. Both of these are juveniles. © Copyright Phillip Augusta. All rights reserved. |
