Observation details
Found earlier in the morning. Seen and photographed by many. Upturned bill, brown on head and neck consistent with breeding plumage . See photos. All photos were taken from my car at a respectful distance to the birds. Several photographers approached the flock on foot and got too close and caused the birds to flush. The birds settled along the beach close to my location providing a good photo opportunity but I would remind birders and photographers of the need to avoid approaching too closely to birds, especially those that are clearly tired and in need of rest while on migration.
