Observation details

**Rare. Found with RBGUs. Photos. I assume this is a/the continuing bird. Thin, faintly marked yellow bill, long thin gape, dark around eyes and showing red, finely streaked head, back slightly darker than RBGUs nearby, greenish legs. Close scope views of it preening and sleeping. Presumed Kamachatka ssp. Will compare photos with Mar. 2015 bird.
