Two days ago, one of my friends found a Baird’s Sandpiper at Orlando Wetlands Park, and several of us saw it yesterday (and it’s still being seen today). I drove out to it during my lunch break and came back to the office all excited.<\/p>\n

Of course, my friends at work thought I was nerding out over a bird that “looks just like any other sandpiper.” The bird was on Wetlands Blvd between Limpkin and Bobcat Rds.<\/p>\n

It was very kind to us because it was hanging out with both a Pectoral Sandpiper and a Least Sandpiper, so we could compare sizes. It’s a beautiful bird.<\/p>\n

There were only a few other shorebirds there: about 12 Least Sandpipers, 1 Pectoral, 1 Semipalmated, 4 Limpkin and 6 Lesser Yellowlegs.<\/p>\n
