[cobirds] Lake Henry Sandpiper - Shout out

2022-10-07 Thread Joey Kellner 
COBirders,
 
I'd like to take a few moments of your time to express my gratitude to the
finder of this bird, Mark Peterson.  Mark was the observant birder that
found this bird hiding among the rocks on the east side of Lake Henry
yesterday.  Mark knew right away that this was going to be a good bird.
Because of his astute observation and getting word out, many of use got to
see this bird today and hopefully more will see it in the coming days.
 
Whether this bird is a western Rock Sandpiper blown inland from the huge
storm in the Bering Sea a month ago or an eastern Purple Sandpiper blown way
off course from eastern Canada's largest-to-date hurricane a month ago, it
is a great bird to be seen in Colorado. 
 
While it's ID continues to be debated, we owe Mark Peterson a big "Thank
you!" for finding, recognizing and notifying the birding community to a
great bird.  Thanks Mark!
 
Joey.

Given the international "reach" of these two species, this is a perfect topic 
for ID-Frontiers, in my opinion . . .

I think the yellowish legs and pale gray color of the nape along with the pale 
underwings favor Rock Sandpiper. If accepted as such by the Colorado Bird 
Records Committee,,I believe this would be new for the Colorado State list. 
Nice catch Joey. Future observers should obtain audio recordings as well as 
they may support the identification.

COBIRDERS,



I’ve attached a number of photos showing different views/angles of the 
PURPLE/ROCK SANDPIPER.  The very pale underwings and thick, white upperwing 
seem consistent with Rock Sandpiper (however I do not know about immature 
plumages of Purple Sandpiper).  The bill and leg color and the overall face 
pattern look better for Purple Sandpiper.



Purple Sandpiper is more likely distribution-wise, but “birds have wings”.



Perhaps someone can forward the below link to Paul Lehmann since he has 
extensive experience with Rock Sandpipers in juv. and imm. Plumages.



Below is the link…you all can view and consult various references.

I disagree with Rock Sandpiper. There is far too much bright yellow
(orange) on the bill and the legs are brighter than any photos of Rock
Sandpipers I have seen. This bird looks like Purple Sandpipers I have seen
in the UK..Also, Rock Sandpipers have  more markings below.

[cobirds] Lake Henry sandpiper

COBIRDERS,
 
I've attached a number of photos showing different views/angles of the
PURPLE/ROCK SANDPIPER.  The very pale underwings and thick, white upperwing
seem consistent with Rock Sandpiper (however I do not know about immature
plumages of Purple Sandpiper).  The bill and leg color and the overall face
pattern look better for Purple Sandpiper.
 
Purple Sandpiper is more likely distribution-wise, but "birds have wings".
