Observation details
I first thought bird looked slightly different and larger than our normal shorebirds, so started taking photos in case. Then studied photos and kept trying to talk myself out of Red Knot, which I have never seen before. I sent photos to one of my local shorebird expert friend, and he agreed, Red Knot. Lifer for me. Bird was pretty cooperative for photos. Plain gray overall with husky body and pretty large compared to the smaller shorebirds. Mostly plain gray wings too when it flew past me once.
