Observation details
medium sized sandpiper about size of dowitcher. At first thought it was a dowitcher, but it had rusty red head, face, neck, breast and belly, a slightly downward-curved dark bill of medium length, not quite as long as the dowitcher nearby, dark legs, and a brownish back. I did not know what this bird was, and sent photo to Lisa Hug, who confirmed it was a Curlew Sandpiper. Subsequently, the CBRC confirmed it based on my two photos.
