There were a couple responses to the Zoompiper that mentioned the semipalmated aspect of the sandpiper's feet could be seen. While this is not usually visible when the birds are walking in mud, it can be photographed rather easily when the birds traverse a more solid substrate. If you find them more sedate than yesterday's frenetic bunch :). Rocks and seaweed are especially good for this type photo.
Here's a semipalmated sandpiper: http://bbartrug.zenfolio.com/p125920471/h29eb34c5#h29eb34c5
and a semi plover: http://bbartrug.zenfolio.com/p125920471/h3c021ed0#h3c021ed0
Have to look close on the plover......
