Observation details
First heard calling multiple times and then suddenly appearing from a nearby point where they had been out of sight. First state record and very unexpected! Unmistakable ID, large black and white shorebird with long orange bill. See attached photos. The adult was banded with yellow bands on both legs with "F 2" on them. Reportedly F2 was banded on Nantucket as an adult in 2006 and winters in Cedar Key, Florida. UPDATE, the birds were not relocated the next two days.
