Observation details

Anne Pelletier spotted this bird on the west side of pond 6 late in the morning. We thought it had the size and shape of a Pectoral, but the underside had the heavy markings, with no sharp boarder, of an adult breeding Sharp-tailed, per Sibley. It gave only a couple of minutes for looks and photos, then flew south along the bank and we weren’t able to refind it.
