Field Notes

Description:

Largest of the peeps, and the furthest to travel for migration.
Durning it's non-breeding season this bird would blend it with other sandpipers. But during breeding season the color changes as it gets a rusty orange from head to belly and some in the wings and back. Bill is Medium length and black.

Habitat:

Spotted in a salt pond near the bay

Notes:

Last image has a Dunlin and half of a Willet.
