Photo Study of Semipalmated Sandpipers at Kimble's Beach, NJ

By Luke Musher
As you may know we've been banding lots of Semipalmated Sandpipers, so naturally I've had a lot of opportunities to photograph them.  Here are some recent photos I took at Kimble's Beach in Cape May county, while banding some Semis caught in cannon nets by the international shorebird team earlier this week.

The word semipalmated means partially webbed.  Here you can see the webbing in between their toes.
