Observation details
A stout shorebird larger than adjacent Killdear had me stumped. It's short stout bill, greenish yellow legs and plump structure had me studying it intently for over half an hour as it walked the shoreline of Lake 13 below the berm road. Extensive scope views with better light revealed barring under the tail and black wing tips on this otherwise round gray shorebird with a white supercilium. Observed preening we were able to see fine barring on it's all white tail. Flipping through Sibley Red Knot seemed to be the best match! Gak Stonn put a photo showing the tail pattern in to Merlin and it came up Red Knot as well. Fortunately we got tons of photos which will be posted here soon. There is only one previous record for Red Knot in Colfax County at Stubblefield Lake by Chris Rustay and Charls Black on 9-19-92 State lifer!
