Phil Uruburu and I were birding on the Cupsogue flats today. He called
my attention to a bird which we studied and I photographed [ poorly]
It is a basic plumaged bird which we believe to have narrowed down to
either Curlew Sandpiper or Dunlin.
I have posted photos to my flicker account for a
Separation of basic-plumage Dunlin and Curlew Sandpiper can be quite
challenging outside of alternate plumage, especially in the New World where
the predominant subspecies of Dunlin (hudsonia and pacifica) have longer
