This morning a brief scan of the shorebirds along TX 4 near Kopernik Shores in
Cameron County turned up a Calidris sandpiper that was a bit larger than the
nearby Westerns. After some head scatching on my part, it flew showing a white
rump. This is the first time I've seen a fall White-rumped Sandpiper. Could
it have over summered? Any comments on the molt? I put some photos on my
Flickr page.
