All,
    Having recieved mail regarding the  Semipalmated Sandpiper and reviewing 
my notes and looking at differnet field guides I do not believe the 
Sandpiper I saw was a Semipalmated Sandpiper and a Semipalmated Sandpiper is 
not a likely in this region. Items of note regarding this bird, the legs 
were dark, there was a distinct eyeline and the breast was fairly white with 
some light coloring.  At the time I was viewing the bird the setting sun was 
pretty much directly behind the bird.  Also I did not notice if the bill was 
straight or if it was curved,  I think that these are critical factors.
    I guess I will have to bird some more.
Regards,
                Jack Carroll
                Centreville, Va.
