Observation details
Great find by Cedric Duhalde! Much smaller than nearby Greater Yellowlegs, approx size of Killdeer. Bill was short and straight, approx the size of its head. Overall light brown head with a not that contrasting white supercillium and darker brown mantle and wings with small intricate white spots. Belly was white, slightly contrasting with the pale brown breast and pale throat. White rump seen in flight and mostly white tail with brown barring getting denser and thicker as the tail feathers went in, after being harassed by a no chill Stilt. Also had yellow legs. Just the second chaseable rec per eBird Always fun to see an interesting bird in this barren, radioactive landscape. Right next to the Yellowlegs is the Slough's grafiti wall, which I noticed includes a reminder of Tetra Tech's falsified soil samples–for years hiding the extent of the radioactivity in the hills behind.
