Observation details
Seen in flight from the end of the boardwalk, medium sized shorebirds with slightly downturned bills. I got some very quick pictures in flight and noticed that some birds seemed to have dark spots on their undersides, but wasn't sure if it was an artifact of the poor photos. Upon reviewing ID characteristics, Dunlin certainly seems like the best match, including a darker tail with white outer tail feathers. I noticed someone else actually reported the same group of birds today as well, so thank you! I've included the very poor picture I got for documentation purposes, and for review in case I've made a mistake on an admittedly tricky ID.
