Observation details

First county eBird record! Found foraging on the beach right at the end of sanborn road. Appeared to be an adult molting into non-breeding plumage. Short-billed based on date (since LB usually show up later), flat back without hump while foraging, lack of light armpits on the underwings during flight, and coloration. Christine/Gary/Camden showed up the end and also have photos. I've got videos of foraging but didn't manage to digiscope the underwing while in flight.
