Hi Tweets,
I think I'm observing a non breeding plumage Semipalmated Sandpiper in the flooded middle field. Short stubby bill, white streaked throat and breast, scaled mantle with central dark spots on scapular feathers, white underside of wing and very dark legs. Bird is with two LESA and two SOSA. I can't turn it into a worn Least or Western or Baird's. Bill is short and stubby. I'll post digiscope on flicker, but need help with confirmation. Thanks! Good birding,
Shep
