Observation details
First observed bird along a narrow gravel roadway with water on both sides. After observing for 20 minutes it flew to a peninsula to the SW where it foraged briefly, bathed, and preened. Other shorebirds (Black Terns, Wilson's Phalaropes, Kildeer, Spotted Sandpipers) were present. The Whimbrel remained unperturbed as I watched and photographed it from a distance of about 60 yards to the south.
