After review of the photographs by a second source, my baird's looks to be to be a larger and lighter semipalmated and my white-rumped a larger least. a little embarassed. there are a lot of shorebirds up there...wouldn't be surprised if there were some actual white-rumpeds up there. Baird's are rare in NY in spring. watch out for a lighter more beige colored semipalamated that is a little larger than the other semi's. There is at least one on the main pool mudflat that could be causing confusion. If you think you see a baird's try to get a photo.
Good birding to all... ________________________________ From: david nicosia <daven1...@yahoo.com> To: Cayuga birds <cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu> Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 11:52 AM Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Bairds and white rumped sandpipers montezuma White rumped.2 larues 1 main pool mudflats.
