Observation details
On arrival I noticed this very colourful shorebird in the near corner of the west pond and called Smith and Wilson to come quickly from their position at the east pond. I told Wilson that I think this bird is a bloody Curlew Sandpiper and not my first thought (a colorful Red Knot) because of it's size and considerably longer downcurved bill. He immediately agreed....we all jumped with joy....and I got on the phone to spread the word. Accepted by the OBRC and the BOS. See also Black and Roy 2010.
