Observation details

Juvenile. Very similar in color overall in comparison to the Buff-breasted. But bigger, longer legged, and longer billed. Darker primaries as well. Photos. Originally found by John Hale this afternoon. I refound it with a lot of luck at about 5pm. I arrived just before 5 and got word that it had not been refound yet and saw the birding group in the back of the sod farm, so I decided to check the puddle by the main road. Just happened to be about the 10th bird I looked at in my scope. Got most of the group on it shortly after 5:15pm. Bird then flew west and was refound briefly a couple times, not enough to get everyone on it. Then, was later refound near sunset and I believe most everybody got on it. Very successful evening for Brazos birders!
