BTCU on left, WHIM on right
Observation details
With flock of 5 WHIM. Landed 150' from us. We walked to within 70' of the bird. The bird persisted for about 2 minutes before it flew inland and upriver without the WHIM. Vocalized with chew-it calls and rolling longer call as it flew away. Much brighter, more spangled appearance than nearby Whimbrel. Bill appeared shorter and more sharply decurved than Whimbrels'.
