Western Sandpiper
Like its close cousin the Semipalmated Sandpiper, the Western Sandpiper also has semi-palmated toes. That is, there is partial webbing at the base, which can be seen clearly here. The Palmate Newt is named for similar reasons. I photographed this juvenile Western strutting along a piece of driftwood on the shore on Vancouver Island.
