The Baird's Sandpiper, the shorebird on the right in these photos, was on a grassy islet with Short-billed Dowitchers and Greater Yellowlegs. The sharply demarked chest striping with a tinge of yellow marks this shorebirds field marks. It is not rare, usually uncommon, but can be hard to find especially in large flocks of peeps.
