Bird Photos: Oddities: Partial albino calidrid
This is a bird that was photgraphed by Gary Nielsen
on September 11, 2003 at the Carmel River in Carmel CA. Gary said
that it was hanging out with and appeared a bit larger than Western
Sandpipers. My feeling is that it is a Western Sandpiper and the
brightness makes it appear more prominent and, possibly, appear
larger. But this is pure speculation on my part. I recall a Monterey
Bay Birds posting or a BirdBox report from around the same time
of possibly this bird. The reporter opined that it looked like
a Least Sandpiper. What do you think?
