Try this shorebird!
Here a photo of a shorebird at Pointe Mouillee, MI. It was taken late last August. Take a guess!

What's with the red line - is it radioactive or something!?
Suppose I should have a guess so I'll say Semipalmated Sandpiper. I wonder if it's a bit long-legged though. |

Does the line round it mean it's dead?
I'd guess Spotted Sandpiper.

Okay everyone, I guess I made that one too hard. It's a Baird's Sandpiper.
P.S. The red line is so you can see it! I thought you might not be able to see it! (I really do underestimate your vision!) P.S.S. That picture was taken with my Canon Camcorder, which is a piece of TRASH! |

Here's another hard bird! (Well, at least from the angle.) This photo was taken last July in Beverly Hills, MI.

Grousemore, it is NOT a shorebird. The first one was, but this is a passerine. (Perching bird)

Correct Joern! The reason it is so rusty is that it was a juvenile.
