Observation details
Immediately stood out because of it’s size amongst the RBGU. Dark orange bill, orange legs. Stood on the mudflat for at least ten minutes where I could get good visuals through a 60x scope. Poor photos taken theough the scope. Later it flew onto the lake where I saw dark tail end and black wing tips and edges. Would have wished for more documentation shots due to rarity of this bird and my primary leading indicator is the orange bill that I can’t see documented in photos.
