Like most 'peeps,' western sandpipers alternate between a fairly drab winter plumage and a brighter breeding plumage. These birds are in various stages of molt from breeding into winter plumage. They were photographed -- one with a least sandpiper -- at the San Jacinto Wildlife Area and at Moss Landing, both in California. Other images of western sandpipers are on this page and here; pictures of roosting flocks are here, juvenile birds are here.
