Dunlin (2, with other shorebirds), Kealakehe WWTP, HI, 16 Dec. 2017
Observation details
See photos. I have additional ones as well, though none better, due to distance. Sandpipers just slightly smaller than Ruddy Turnstones, with longish bills drooping toward tip, grayish plumage with dusky wash across breast. One individual was somewhat paler in coloration than the other, but both were identical in size and structure. I had also seen 2 Dunlin on the beach S of Aimakapa Pond just 2.5 hours earlier, and one of those birds was slightly paler than the other, so I am wondering whether these 2 birds are the same as those 2 birds. I have additional photos and video if the reviewer would like to make plumage comparisons to determine total number of birds.
