Observation details
Two juveniles had been seen earlier in the morning by Chet McGaugh. We initially saw them in the small pond on the south side of Pond W11-12, but they then flew over to the main pond. These were relatively large shorebirds with stocky bodies, slim necks, and straight bills. They were a medium-gray color overall, but when they flew the striking black-and-white pattern on the primaries was clearly evident. The bill was gray basally but blending to black distally, but because they were standing in the water when seen at close range I cannot recall noting the leg color.
