Observation details
*Very rare. Trying to get DB and WS on the SESP I had roused while others were taking a break at the car. No luck so I took a few steps forward and simultaneously saw/heard/felt the rail graze the bottom of my foot as it flushed up from the spartina, then flew past DB and over WS's head. Called Flood who drove down from seawatching just in time, and summoned MP and DK from their lunch break. Everyone eventually got great views after a frustrating 5-10min trying to relocate (bird was using dead vegetation matts like a highway, and managed to move ~30m east undetected). Photos and video.
