Observation details
Continuing. I was scoping gulls and shorebirds in the little cove area past the gazebo when the stilt emerged from the marsh grasses by the duck blind and flew to the "cove". I had great views- perfect lighting and weather, birds happily foraging, birder happily watching… I stayed for some time enjoying it all. When I was almost back to my car I heard the stilt above me - I looked up to see it flying low and coming in my direction. It had flown out from the cove and was heading west past the park but circled back, flew over me, then back along the shore and on its way further west down Dune Rd. It was one of those “ahh” moments in birding! Photos to come.
