Observation details
Perhaps the most unexpected shorebird of this morning’s incredible influx, found by Mary Beth Kooper in an open field south of the camping area. As we approached, we spotted it in flight, looping over the harbor after it had been flushed. It quickly settled back in the grass, where we were treated to good views. Medium-sized, chunky shorebird with a dramatically elongated bill. Mottled brownish-orange overall, with white back stripe visible whenever it took off. Remained on the lawn when we walked away, foraging alongside starlings and Killdeer
