The banded semipalmated sandpiper I photographed back on May 10 was banded in the Paracas National Reserve, Peru on November 2, 2013. http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/image/155599460 The band (7PL) suffered color change and was originally all yellow. The sandpiper would then one of the western birds that could nest as far west as eastern Siberia. Several others also photographed and viewed the sandpiper at the Ruff railing. -- Joseph C.
