Media notes
Stilt sandpiper in the middle (head not visible), dunlin on the left and right.
Observation details
Continuing, found by Andrew. Birthday lifer! Gray, similar to yellowlegs. Lighter in color and slimmer than dowitchers with a shorter bill than the dowitchers. Taller than dunlins. Bright supercilium. Very slight decurve to the bill. Photos added. Editing to add: yellow-ish legs were barely visible when going over some of my photos. Feeding style was also different compared to the other shorebirds it was with: the tail was much more pointed up into the air compared to other nearby birds when feeding.
