Since this is the time of year when the peeps are arriving in great numbers, 
we thought we would repost a couple of photos from last year about this time, taken on the Marsh Discovery Trail.
The photo above is of a Semipalmated Sandpiper (left) and a Least Sandpiper (right).
The Semipalm gets its name for its partially webbed (semipalmated) toes.
See photo at left.
These were taken Aug. 5, 2010.
When you see a big cloud of a thousand peeps swirling a 1/4 mile away, it’s hard to tell them apart no matter how big your scope is.
