This is 1 of 2 posts of photographs that I took at Southport Beach in Fairfield, CT today.

These birds were so small that I almost didn't see them running around in the shallow water. I think they might be a Least Sandpiper, but they looked smaller than a Black-capped Chickadee.

The first photo is my entry for the following:

    It's amazing how photos can show images out of context and not to scale. These birds look large in your photos. Nicely photographed.

    I think you are correct with Least Sandpiper Anne. Nice work.

    I think they are Semipalmated Sandpipers.

    I love sandpipers. They are so cute. But I am not familiar with different kinds at all. These are great photos.

    A very busy looking little bird - I struggle with wader ID here - so, this one is beyond me!
