Observation details
Continuing. Finally got great views of this bird! We found it as soon as we arrived, preening on the mudflats where it likes to forage. We were able to get somewhat close at first, but it was when I started to to wait near a part of the shoreline. The bird quickly approached where I was, and I got astounding views as it came within 10 or 15 feet of me, before a skimmer chased it off to a slightly more distant mudflat. Still present when we left. Photos.
