Observation details
Very small chunky shorebird, less than half the size of nearby Killdeer. Brown above and white below with some grayish-brown on upper breast. Dark bill that appeared to have slight droop at tip, but distant bird and lighting was poor. Given the coloration of the bird (more brownish than gray/pale) and typical arrival dates of Semipalmated vs. Least Sandpiper, I believe this is a Least. Digiscope photos obtained.
