Trish and I took a drive north and east of Calgary this afternoon.

Just want to be sure of this guy seen near Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The black legs would suggest semi.

Looks like it might be a Baird's. Bird #170

Trish and I took a drive east of Calgary on July 29. Had a few more pics to post.

I thought this was a least or semipalmated sandpiper at first, but it turned out to be baird's, a new bird for me. Seen on 84th St north of Country Hills Blvd.
