Beobachtungsdetails

Found earlier this morning by Junior Metcalfe, seen through the day June 9 by many Cape Breton birders, at the Fishermen's Memorial Park adjacent to Glace Bay Harbour. Park is a small grassed area with a circular gravelled driveway. Bird was feeding very actively in the wet grass, probing deeply. Bill appeared straight, bright yellow-orange at base, black at tip, blunt-tipped. Rear portion of head and hindneck buffy-cinnamon, crown streaked brown and cinnamon. Buffy supercilium. Cheeks, foreneck and breast dark rufous, lower belly and undertail white. Lower breast and belly heavily barred with black. White rump and upper tail, black tail band, narrow white tip on tail feathers - seen while preening. Saw the bird only briefly in flight, and it did not call. Crown plumage as in juvenile bird (see Shorebirds, an Identification Guide, Hayman et al.), which Ian McLaren described as first breeding plumage, of the islandica subspecies (see Nova Scotia Birds, Vol. 42, Issue 4, p.5). See attached photos, scanned from my slides in Oct. 2021.
