A life list addition for me. The bird was close to shore due to the many Bonaparte's Gulls hunting for fish. There may have been a Herring run on this day.

With a Western Sandpiper.

I was at this location hoping to see my lifer Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, which I did. However, the photo is not worthy of posting as it is very blurry at long distance.
