ALWAYS assume there is some other bird species in there that you have not found yet.

Upland Sandpipers are one of the coolest and most awkward-looking of our continent’s birds. The thought of identifying certain groups of birds can incapacitate them. I, for one, cannot stand it anymore, and as the best birder in the world, I feel it is my duty to improve the state of birding. 2: Look at the bird.

I started out my birding life sitting on Benches 2 and 7 at the Jamaica Bay NWR West Pond, my Peterson’s in my lap, studying Green-winged Teal, Northern Shovelers, and the occasional Pintail. This is the first bird guide I’ve reviewed that has utilized and credited a Flickr group, the Bird Hybirds Flickr Forum.
