Shorebird fun

[Kansabirdguy]

Today in Stafford county ks

[Kansabirdguy]

Another one and an I spy non bird one for fun

[Kevin]

Kept looking for a bird wondering why all I could find was a rattlesnake.

[Kansabirdguy]

Yeah western massasauga

[Kevin]

Wilson's Phalarope, Dowitchers, Least Sandpipers I think, Rattle snake, White-faced Ibis and Wilson's Phalarope.

[Kansabirdguy]

Curious if the non phalaropes are identifiable in the first pic and if any dowitchers are short billed
Also pretty sure those are Hugo not ibis but I wanted to make sure there wasn’t a marbled in there

[Aidan B]

I think the Peeps in the first photo are Semipalms, and agree with all Hudwits. For the dows I'd probably call the right bird in the second picture and the leftmost bird in the third photo SBDOs and spuh the rest.

[Kansabirdguy]

Only vocal ones were lbdo and sbdo would be a lifer so would love to know what’s making you lean that way

Hoping my habit of taking photos of any dowitchers I see has finally paid off

[Aidan B]

Mainly based on the pattern of the scapulars and greater coverts.

[Kansabirdguy]

Here’s some pics lit up some

[Kansabirdguy]

And

[Kansabirdguy]

Is anything here identifiable with full confidence

[Kansabirdguy]

From what I’m seeing I’m pretty sure they’re all lbdo
