Observation details

I originally though these were photos of one of the two Willets at a great distance, but Dan Lane pointed out the problem with size (comp. to BNST), and Dan suggests Red Knot, but bill looks too long (to me), so given the extreme rarity of REKN inland, I leave them here (in case someone really willing to stick their necks out). What must have happened is that I aimed my camera in general direction of the Willets and just assumed that these smudges represented one of them
