About Me
- lynn deweese-parkinson
- I am a bookseller with about 20 years experience, having taken up the trade after retiring as a trial lawyer. I deal exclusively in books on Mexico & bullfighting. I am sole proprietor of my shop in Playas de Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. I am also the list owner for The Bibliophile Mailing List, an email discussion list of book dealers, collectors, librarians, & others interested in the book trade. My unfulfilled ambitions are first, to play violin with such artistry as to make a Spanish Gypsy cry and second, to survive with grace in the arena with a full grown toro bravo.

It looks like a sandpiper to me. According to my Larousse, the Spanish name is "aguzanieves."
I think it's either a Long Billed Curlew

or possibly a Marbled Godwit

Yu can't tel size well from the photos but all the sandpipers I know are smaller than these. We also have long billed curlew on the beach but these don't have the curved bill.
I do believe it is a godwit (what a wonderful name). The map says this beach(Playas de Tijuana) is a winter range for it and we only see them in winter. However, the coloration is a bit different than the photo at Cornell.
