Re: Help on peep ID, possible Baird’s? (poor images)

Hello all,

I’d appreciate some ID help on the unidentified peep images, wondering if the bird in the background is a Baird’s Sandpiper or not. I was looking and Western and Least Sandpipers in the channel south of the bike path east of 13th Street (Imperial Beach). Unfortunately, I got poor, soft photos through the fence, and the lighting conditions were not ideal. I cropped and enhanced the exposure and contrast a bit in Lightroom.

The photos are attached to this checklist:
