I think the photos above show different birds?
The beak for the 1st one is too big for marsh sandpiper. Is it a greenshank instead?
For the 2nd, I'm not sure. It looks like a marsh sandpiper but the upperwing is so brownish in color. Author: kkoel Time: 8/10/2009 20:49
Think both are Greenshanks. The thick bill tells =) Author: ajohn Time: 9/10/2009 09:40
The photos all show different birds, according to the patterning.
The first three photos show greenshank (compared to Marsh Sandpiper, they are larger/bulkier with thicker, slightly upturned bills)
The last photo is a Grey-tailed Tattler. Note the straight bill, contrasting head pattern (supercilium/eye-stripe), shorter legs and grey rump (just about visible) Author: thinfor Time: 9/10/2009 10:09
More photos have been shown?
Now I could see that the 2nd one is still a greenshank. Thanks Koel and John! Author: cfrankie Time: 9/10/2009 14:52
