Hi Randy,=20
How large were the eggs and the nest? Spotted Sandpiper eggs and Willet egg=
s look similar. The size would be a good indication weather it was a larger=
shorebird or a smaller shorebird. Did you take a photo with anything for s=
cale ? Or did you notice the size of the bird when it was flushed from the =
nest?

Hi Randy
I am no expert at all but my first guess would be Spotted Sandpiper. When I=
googled, this site came up and the eggs look similar but maybe other shore=
birds are similar.=C2=A0
