Observation details
very vocal, the call was unfamiliar to me, sounded like Pacific Golden plover, not at all like an American. Extremely agitated, landed on shore, extremely erect posture, then flew off at great speed, then returned, calling loudly, joined Sanderlings and seagulls on a newly forming sandbar, was briefly harassed by a herring gull, flew off and returned twice more, eventually began to exhibit a more relaxed posture. There was a Peregrine falcon in the area so perhaps a close encounter earlier might explain the behavior.
