Interested in College in Alaska?

Rock Sandpiper
Calidris ptilocnemis

I probably did not need to keep all of these pictures of the Rock Sandpipers, but I had a hard time deciding which ones to keep. I justified the decision to keep them by noting that they showed variation in the transition to breeding plumage.

Location: Sitka National Historical Park, Sitka, Alaska
