Observation details
They were on the beach just east of the lagoon when I arrived, but I didn't bother checking them out with the binoculars because I foolishly opted to take pretty sunset photos instead, figuring I could check them out afterwards. Then as I was shooting sunset pictures the flock crossed my field of view after being flushed. D'oh! I'm leaning toward Willet, but I couldn't make out the wing pattern in my shots of the flock flying away.
