It was sloppy out this morning. It was snowing a bit too hard to find many little birds. However, the needed moisture will make it better for the birds later this spring and summer.
Photographs from April 21, 2018 Wild Bird Company Saturday Morning Bird Walk
At first glance, a solitary sandpiper looks a like a lesser yellowlegs, except it doesn't have as long a bill or legs. Look for the white eye ring and in its alternate (breeding) plumage, its back is rather dark with a checkerboard of white spots. The one we watched along Boulder Creek actually flew towards us to help me get some kind of photo in the less than ideal photographic conditions.
