Least Sandpiper at Barnes Point 9-6-2014
On the first weekend of September this year we celebrated the first ever World Shorebirds Day. For three days that weekend people were encouraged to go out and count shorebirds wherever they were. One of the places I counted birds at was Barnes Landing in Brunswick, Maine. I found three Least Sandpipers feeding in the eel grass on the rocky shore. I have more photos and info to come, but I figured it was time to get some birds back on this Birding Blog!
This photo really shows the yellow-green legs and slightly down-curved bill of the Least Sandpiper.
