Yes to Semipalmated Sandpiper, but not a juvenile. It is an inexplicably worn breeding plumage adult. Thanks for your kind words.

You can even see a bit of the palmation between the bird’s toes. Yes the Western Sandpiper shares that feature but the bill is too short and blunt for a Western. Not a juvenile in May, but not in adult breeding plumage either. Still first year bird, I think. Artie, your Semi-palmated Sandpiper photos on Birds of Nrth America do not include a May pic from so far south. I think they need to buy this one!
