Observation details
*Scarce migrant in the Champlain Valley in appropriate habitat along the lake shore. Continuing juvenile that I found yesterday morning. Exceptional views as the bird approached me along the south beach. Overall buffy, slender and small-headed shorebird with crisp, neatly arranged juvenile feathering. Plain face with dark eye and relatively short, slender bill. Yellow legs. Foraging behavior distinctive as it delicately picked along the surface. I watched it nab some sort of aquatic insect larva (caddisfly?). Images attached.
