Observation details
Two at first. Gave three quick toots when they took off to circle the mudflat. Then one returned to the same spot. Video captures their unusual ability to flex the tip of their long beak (rhynchokinesis). Rare visitor in the region with few county records. First record at this location in 34 years (since 1989).
