Description

Trying to distinguish between all the different sandpiper type birds that were at the drying beds. The last two pictures have other birds. the fourth also has Wilson's Phalarope and Blue-winged Teal. The last picture has a Wilson's Phalarope. if any of the pictures are not correctly identified I would appreciate knowing it.

Description

This record gleaned from field journals I kept between 1968 and 2002. The first 6500+ records I posted on iNat had photo documentation, but now I am posting these records which do not have photos just to provide the data point for the species, date, and location as best as I can for the historical record. I will also add a number to represent the approximate number of individuals of this species I recorded on the given day if more than one.
