I shot this at Jugan Fishponds. This bird caught my eye as it was "sitting" on a pile of dirt. Notice the bill is not really straight? The barrings on the tail are also quite bold, or is that typical of the Wood Sandpiper?  |

Looks like a Wood Sandpiper to me, Bobby.... the slight downward curve at the tip of the upper mandible is normal*. Let's wait for Steve to give his definitive ID. * Ref. pic - www.pbase.com/liquidstone/image/74318068/originalExcellent shot, love the open bill! |

Alright, Ka Master. I will go back there later this week and see what the legs look like on this bird. The friend I was with swears it was Orangy red? In any case, thanks for the the ID. :-)
