Observation details
Continuing shorebird originally found by field trip in late January. Spotted today with dowitchers in northwest pond, scoped from platform. Shorebird with more upright posture, brighter white front. Bill straight and shorter than Stilt Sandpipers. Whitish at base of bill. We did not see the legs (standing in water). Dark centered back feathers with pale edges giving messy scalloped look. One terrible photo.
