I am a woodcarver doing a spotted sandpiper, some of my reference photos seem to indicate some webbing while others do not. Is it something they can retract at will? Anyone got photos of sandpipers stretching for flight?
Thanks for any help you can provide

Here is a great shot, with the feet exposed:

Still checking for more. OK, check this link, search for the word "sandpiper" -- has several "flight" shots:

and not just of sandpiper -- other great ones as well!

No, they do not have webbing on their feet.
