Observation details
Reported yesterday by DCartwright, GLester and TKurz. Looks like a large American pipit but no tail pumping. Buffy gray with creamy lightly streaked side, short faintly curved bill. I spotted it almost immediately trailing its long tail (it reminded me of a mockingbird) as it flew from the beach into the brush adjacent to the driftwood piles. It then flew down again onto the beach and foraged briefly till it landed on a couple different logs. Then it flew back to the brush as I got closer for a pic. I walked down the beach a ways and on return I saw it again perched on top of a small dead tree/bush just above the beach. Phone pics.
