This morning, although the numbers of sandpipers at the Auburn Road section of LaDue Reservoir wre low, I found two Bairds Sandpipers poking along in the drier part of the mudflats. I could see the longer wingtips extending past the tail feathers, the dark legs and plumage details that separated them from the semipalmated sps. There were only a handful of peeps for comparison, and the Bairds were usually foraging by themselves.
