    Default Semipalmated Sandpiper

    I think I have the identification of this bird right. Please correct me if I am wrong. Photographed it last week at Katherine Cove on Lake Superior. A small group of 5 were hanging out on the beach. Aside from having a wolf run across the highway this was the only sign of life I saw the whole trip.

    Some minor clean-up on beach performed.

    Nikon D200
    Nikon 80-400mm VR lens @ 260mm (390mm effective)(VR on)
    f8 @ 1/400
    ISO 400

    Look forward to comments.

    Yep, a young Sanderling. Nice clean sand and I like that it is standing atop a little mound.
