Media notes
I realize this is a relatively poor (b/c of distance) photo, but it shows the thin dark gray/ black posterior neck line running up from the back to the inverted black triangle on the crown of its head; a feature only on basic plumage RNPH's (& to a lesser extent, REPH's); also size comparison w/ Dunlins...
Observation details
Lots of pics taken but at significant distance. Watched through scope - white forehead and thin black bill with a good teardrop eye patch. Seen in the main "Avocet Pond" (my name) where most of the Avocets stayed (to my knowledge) during Spring & Summer (but were in another pond today just S of that main pond)...
