The sandpipers photographed in this gallery include Pectoral, Solitary, Dunlin, Short-billed dowitchers, Red Knots, Least, and Semipalmated. These were shot at Weskeag Marsh, Scarborough Marsh and Popham Beach. Sorting out the small sandpipers ("peeps"), especially Least, Semipalmated, White-rumped, and Westerns can be tricky. And aging these birds is a job for shorebird experts, i.e. not me. For shorebird photo titles, I follow the old adage "when in doubt, leave it out".
