Observation details
***Mega. Continuing from last week—or is it? Brighter orange on bill and less extensive white eyebrow than bird found by Brendan and Taylor, but perhaps just plumage shift from last sighting almost a week ago; photo study required. Picked out by JWM at fairly close range in middle of flats near (40.72595, -72.90436) with other plovers. Stood out by brighter white supercilium, more extensively dark face, and thick black breastband. With closer study, details of structure differed as well, and lack of palmation between toes visible in photos. Called at least twice, a plaintive "peeuh" notably different from Semipalmated. Photos and video.
