Media notes
Within flock of BBPL on the lakeshore of Yellowknife Bay.
Observation details
Not only FOY, not only first NWT....this bird is a LIFER for me! Within downed flock of BBPL, 40 meters away while viewed in Kowa TSN 773 scope. Stocky, fairly large shorebird. Salmon red underparts, face, and neck, without any streaking. Bill black, medium length and down-curved. Golden mottled brown mantle, coverts and scapulars. Grey tail. Fairly active feeding, and I secured some photos through my spotting scope to mark the occasion. This is perhaps the second or third report of REKN I've ever heard of for the Yellowknife area.
