Hi all,
Just returning from an amazing trip to the Galápagos. An incredible experience!
Looking through my photos and came back
to a peep I couldn’t identify at the time, and still having trouble.
Seen on beach near Punto Cormorán on north side of Floreana island.
There were two in a pair, on the beach, right on the edge of the waves. What appeared to be clearly white on underparts, overall grey in color, and legs appeared yellowish or greenish (although they do appear dark in these compressed photos).
Did not see anymore of these sandpipers on the island, just the pair. Unfortunately didn’t seem them fly away so don’t have any notes on what they look like or behavior in flight.
These were small, 6 to 8 inches from beak to tail. Beak not stubby- looks to be longer than head.
Least? Semipalmated? White-rumped? Baird’s? Please help if you have any insight!
