I've just returned from a vacation in SW Florida, and for the first time have started to photograph some of the shorebirds.
I'm finding the i.d. of some of these quite confusing, so I'm turning to the experts (all of you out there) in my confusion to attempt to get positive i.d's.
The attached photo was taken on Ft. Myers Beach (Lee County, Florida) in Dec 2007.
My immediate thought is Willet (C. semipalmatus), but I would welcome any correction or comments.
This may well be the first of several requests for help, so thanks in advance for any assistance provided.
