I'm not positive of this birds ID ~ is it a Semipalmated Sandpiper?
Any help from you birders would be appreciated! :)

A great find, I like it! V

I know it's a bird, and that's about it ;-). But great capture, almost 3-D in feeling. V.

Because of the greenish yellow legs and short curved bill, I think it might be a Least Sandpiper. Terrific image. Stephanie!

He shows up nicely against the mossy rocks no matter what his name is. Sorry no help on that one.

I'm afraid I can not offer more help than Kevin. Nice catch of the bird, I like the textures and colors of the rocks.

I can confirm its a well taken shot of an LBB (Little Brown Bird )

There's a lot of similarities between shorebirds like this. ID is a challenge. One thing is certain - nice work getting its photo. Great shot Stephanie!
