Observation details
DR writes: This unique species had a distinctive 'pecking' style of foraging among the Calidris sandpipers at the edge of the drying lagoon; I spent some time stalking one for photos among the blowing sand. [As of this date, this completes my set of "all the bird families in the world," by any of the current world taxonomies, but one never knows what taxonomists might split at this level in the future.]
