A brown and white Semipalmated Sandpiper with a black beak and legs, standing in the mud and looking for snacks amid small green plants and water at the edge of the pond.

For today's #BOTD, here's a #SemipalmatedSandpiper foraging in the mud at the edge of a pond at Great Meadows NWR (Concord, Massachusetts - May 2025) 😍

Shore bird on the rocks

I spotted it hanging out near Port Elgin. While most of the flock sticks to the frigid Fundy side, this one seems to be enjoying the warmer waters of the Northumberland Strait.

The sandpiper has a short, thin, dark bill, dark legs, white belly, dark streaks forming a collar, light rufous brown head with dark streaks, and dark brown and rufous markings on its back and wings. It's standing in water. The background is sand.

Some cute semipalmated sandpipers I saw at the Bay last month.

A lone sandpiper, in distant focus at the water's edge, strides purposefully towards a blurred flock in the foreground.
