I was in search of migrant birds and I discovered sand martins and my first common sandpiper of the year. |
The best known of sex-role-reversed shorebirds are the spotted sandpiper, phalaropes, and jacanas. |
They did not observe the pectoral sandpiper and buff-breasted sandpiper, the next most numerous species in the present study. |
Six species are considered to be breeders, including the least sandpiper and greater yellowlegs. |
It has a round head with large, black eyes, and a relatively short bill for a sandpiper. |
There were a dozen black-winged stilts, two spur-winged plovers, a common sandpiper and my new life bird, a great snipe. |
