Observation details
Continuing, known at this location during fall migration. Seen near SESA, KILL, and resting RBGUs about 1.5 mi from east gate out on dike. Viewed thru bins and scope. Distant photos and video taken (could not get closer without disturbing gulls and shorebirds). Black legs and toes (lacking a hallux). Longer primary extension past tertials than in nearby SESA, but not as long as expected in BASA. Molting into non-breeding plumage, with plenty of white, grayish, and rusty coloration on crown, neck, and back; white supraloral separated from white supercilium; smudgy reddish-grayish chest coloration; otherwise, white on underside. Larger than nearby SESA. Smaller than nearby KILL. To view a 15-second video of the Sanderling, click on the 1st image below:
