Solitary Sandpiper, March 17, 2018

Saturday's Critters, Weekend Reflections, and I'd Rather B Birdin'

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, March 8, 2018
I live 300 miles north of the Gulf Coast (Gulf of Mexico) so I am not familiar with shorebirds.
I see them only occasionally as they migrate through our area. I think this is a Solitary Sandpiper, Tringa solitaria. I am hoping that someone more familiar with shorebirds can confirm this ID for me.
Have a wonderful weekend!

    That’s a really nice photo of the Sandpiper. Sandpipers are cute funny little birds. I like watching their little feet dart the waves.

    It's beautiful. I saw one on the golf course one time and was surprised. You think they should be on the beach! Hugs!

    This little bird is just stopping by to admire your sandpiper, it is also extra special to see our feathered friends unexpectedly don't you think. Thank you for your thoughtful comments on my elephant polo post, must appreciated to have your views.
    Have a great week
