Observation details
Scoped on smaller rock up coast of creek mouth. First seen with scope from the Studio Drive overlook where bird identified by plump shape, stout bill, and smaller size in comparison to much bigger Black Oystercatcher. Photos taken from beach after checklist time stopped. Bird in basic plumage with gray wings, back and breast and sparse spotting along flanks and across upper belly. Bill pale at base, mostly on lower mandible. Was unable to detect leg color due to poor lighting and distance. Likely first spring bird.
