Observation details
Continuing female first found several days previously by Nick and Mary Freeman. I first spotted the bird with a flock of dowitchers and avocets in the pond closer to Garst. We then drove closer and had better views. The bird was similar in size to the dowitchers, though it looked somewhat different because of its small head and very fat body. It was also very pale--almost whitish on the face/neck. Photographed.
