Observation details
continuing bird; found after walking all the way out to duck blind. Seen in large panne to the SW...the one w/ very little Spartina cover within and along edges. Actively feeding, pause to preen. Noticed from a distance as a very contrasty B&W wading bird through fringing grass. 
Photos indicate red eye, not seen through scope. 
After returning to trail, while BS-ing w/ other birders, this bird flew back to the panne nearest the trail and loafed with some mallards. Sorry I missed flight shot. Long trailing legs are unique.
