Date: 24 Jun 1999 15:37:01 -0500 Hi everybody, During my 1998 California holiday, I shot this bird when going for a one-day trip to Mexico at the Beach of Rosarito. I guess it is some kind of sandpiper - anyone who can give a more precise identification? Thanks in advance - Ralf -- My animal photo page on the WWW: http://mercury.spaceports.com/~schmode Updated 6/24/1999 with 3 pictures filename="Sandpiper001.jpg" Comments ======== From: HermitThrush23@webtv.net Date: Sat Oct 02 13:39:11 KST 1999 File: Sandpiper001-Unidentified_Curlew-from_Mexico.jpg Looks to me like a Long-billed Curlew. I saw many at Puerto Penasco over Thanksgiving weekend last year. Curlews are sandpipers, BTW.
