Pectoral Sandpiper
MNWR Wildlife Drive - 23 September, 2007
Note the sexual dimorphism in this group of 3 "pecs" (males are on average larger than females).For those who enjoy ID challenges, can you ID the 6 other shorebirds in this first photo???
Stewart Park (Ithaca, NY) - 15 September, 2007
This bird stuck around for at least a week, feeding in the unusually good shorebird habitat along the lake at Stewart Park. These photos were taken later in the bird's stay on .I also grabbed a couple seconds of video of this bird feeding alone and also feeding with a Stilt Sandpiper.
