ID Help?

[Sebastian Erras]

Hi everyone,

i just came back from my 2 weeks visit to the South of Florida.

on the Florida Keys at Bahia Honda State Park i photographed those 2 birds, but as i don't know anything about the american water-birds, i have no clue what it could be.

So I need your help.

Here is the pic:



Thank you for your help.

Hi Sebastian, my guess is Least Sandpipers. They show yellow legs, dirty breast and fairly short bills. Dan Brown

[John Chardine]

I would agree with Dan. I think the yellow legs are diagnostic for a small peep like this.

[Steve Maxson]

I also would say least sandpipers.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

I agree, they look like Least Sandpipers. Calidris minutilla

[Arthur Morris]

Yes to least. And they are both adults. What month were they photographed in?
