Observation details
**Rare** Large shorebird with a long, downcurved bill, dark crown stripes, and a dark eyeline. Overall gray-brown plumage with speckling. Flew in at about 11:50 a.m. and flew in a couple of wide circles before landing in the SW pond. They were joined in flight by the Marbled Godwit, and when the Whimbrels landed the Marbled Godwit continued a little further to the W and landed in the SW pond. The Whimbrels preened and bathed for a short time, and then flew off to the SW and out of sight at about 12:00 p.m. Poor distant digiscoped photos attached.
