Observation details
Super find by Scott Lachance (thanks Scott!). Medium-large cryptically plumaged sandpiper, larger than nearby Killdeer. Creeping furtively across tundra-like habitat right in from of the public viewing area. "Beautifully 'scored' plumage" says Matan, my field companion for the morning. Dull yellowish legs and dark-tipped yellowish, medium-length bill very slightly decurved. Didn't hear it call during our short visit. Bird was constantly looking skyward toward raptors passing overhead.
