Observation details
*rare; first detected by the insect-like flight call and quickly spotted as they circled around the pond. Shortly relocated on the ground, moving from pond to pond as they foraged alongside the Leasts and Semipalmated Plover. Considerably larger than Least, with attenuated shape and long primary projection past tail. Plumage distinctive, cold gray overall and suggestion of rufous tones coming in on crown auriculars and back, pale supercillium. Dense, fine black streaking across face neck and breast with more diffuse chevrons continuing down onto upper flanks. Red base to lower mandible visible, though more prominent on one individual. White rump obvious in flight. Photographed extensively at close range.
