Observation details
Rusty wash on forward sides of neck below white chin. Clear dark line through eye. Walking on sandbar before being apparently scared off by raucous adult and youngster Caspian Terns, as breached waters of the lagoon continued to rise, shrinking sandbar, it few off over the bay perhaps around 7:30pm. I followed it by binoculars heading NE, NNE, until it was an eyelash, then no more, a faint suggestion of circling back, but inconclusively so. Separated from red-necked by yellow legs, pattern of wash, land feeding, lanky aspect, thin bill. But photos to post & review.
