Willet photo by John Gatchet It is holding a Rock Crab it just caught.
Observation details
A large shorebird with a drab gray plumage with white lower belly and gray legs. The bird had a large stout bill that was gray and became dark black at the tip. The forehead showed a white area typical in the western species of Willet. The tip of the tail showed barring. The coverts were crisply marked and the legs were gray. The Willet was catching rock crab and eating them. I will attach pictures later. Some pictures will show the Rock Crab in the bill of the Willet.
