May 20, 2019: White-rumped Sandpiper



There are three characteristics that make this sandpiper a White-rumped Sandpiper (without seeing the white rump): wing-tips slightly longer than the tail, streaking along the flanks, and red at the base of the lower mandible.  This bird was found at Pool C, along with 3 Least Sandpipers. (Wolf. Oesterreich, 5/7/19)
