Stock Photo: Semipalmated Sandpiper Feeding At Seaside Beach
ID 265549198 © Fallsview | Megapixl.com
Semipalmated sandpiper feeding at seaside beach, it is a small, grayish-brown sandpiper. Typically shows relatively short, blunt-tipped bill, but this varies across the breeding range: western populations are shortest-billed, eastern populations are longest, and females have longer bills than males! Also note blackish legs, although they can appear dull gray or greenish. In breeding plumage, fairly pale grayish brown, sometimes with brighter rusty cap and cheek. Nonbreeding is plain gray above and white below.
