Semipalmated Sandpiper – Kendall-Frost Marsh

Just found a juvenile Semipalmated Sandpiper looking due east from the observation deck at Kendall-Frost Marsh in north Mission Bay. It"s a little distant so good lighting is important here. You' ll also need a good scope. Bird is paler overall than nearby least and westerns with a clean, scaly back. Some Buffy on the neck.

Good Birding,
