The home page photo is a Sanderling. http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/rrf3/ >From Home, pick Shorebirds! in the lower left. There you will see Juvenile and Adult photos of several species of Calidris sandpipers.

Were you referring to the Semipalmated shots at the "Shorebirds!" link? I noticed that he must use frames, because the URL doesn't change when you burrow deeper into the site. You may want to specify the links to follow.
