Photographed on Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge by Tom Koerner/USFWS
Observation details
Noticed a large shorebird, extremely long down curved bill, cinnamon underwings struggling to fly into 40 mph headwind. It slowly descended and landed 40 yards from me. Gave me opportunity to take some photos and then began to forage. Was in the sage steppe uplands just off of the public use road on Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge.
