Upland Sandpiper (Bartramia longicauda), Evergreen Turf sod farm, Santa Cruz Flats, Pinal County

This Upland Sandpiper was discovered and photographed by Doug Jenness on 05 July 2013.

About 10 previous records for AZ. 

ID points were yellow bill (in scope black tip was noted), yellowish legs, longish slender neck with small dove-like head with eye that appeared very large. The bill was much shorter than that of Lesser or Greater Yellowlegs. It walked slowly on the short green sod grass.
