Observation details
I first spotted this shorebird fly in with Killdeer at the far southwest corner of the point. A plump calidris with overall dingy brownish gray upperparts/breast and pale below. Distinct rounded brownish head with long somewhat decurved dark bill. Brown cast to face with pale around eyes. Dark legs. Pale wing stripe and dark midline to white tail seen in flight. Unique sharp buzzed flight call of PJEEV heard once. Good extended close views with 8x42s and photo'd. Thanks to Dave Read for great scope views to confirm identification when the bird was initially at some distance from us.
