Observation details
Continuing find by Sara Boscoe and Jonathan Bain. First saw the bird foraging here: 33.96711° N, 118.44440° W. before it was flushed by an Osprey. We refound it with a flock of Willets where it took a bath, preened, and then flew back to its original location. At one point the bird was also chased away by Stilts. Slightly smaller than nearby Willets but much larger than nearby WESA. This bird had bright orange legs, a bright orange bill that faded into a black tip, a reddish-brown nape, a broken white eye-ring, and was still holding onto a good amount of the ruff of feathers around its neck.
