Re: Bird ID help

Ron,

 

Can you help some of us less learned Piper folks to understand what keys help you identify the bird(s).  There were two photos in Linda’s request, do you consider them both Western Sandpipers and why.

 

Always looking to learn more and I find the Sandpipers hard, not quite as hard as the fly catchers but hard none the less.

 

Thanks for your help.
