Assorted Peeps

Over the past few months, I have been checking a local fluddle that seems to never dry up. I've saved a few photos to post about when all is said and done, and the fluddle has dried up. That day is today. It enticed many types of peeps, but getting good photos was a whole other story. It was a tough shot at any time of day, but I managed a few that were blog-worthy. I also want to note that identifying these waders was very tough, so if you want to argue an ID, please do!

An assortment of peeps including Greater Yellowlegs, Killdeer, and last but not least, mystery peeps. The smallest peeps in this scene I cannot ID. Can you?

  4. A beautiful series. A spot like that is a haven for wildlife.

    I have no idea about the identity of that bird either.
