Hi all,
Yesterday (3.21.09) a curlew sandpiper (dunlin??) was digging earthworms in
the grass playfield at Shoreline's Shoreview Park, which seemed very
un-sandpiper-like.

I assumed this solitary bird was a dunlin, but with the light-gray back and
clean white belly, it looks more like the curlew sandpiper in Sibbley.
