These images were all taken using a digital camera and a telescope and are a little blurry. The above shot shows general body shape, bill length, and underside coloration.

Another shot showing some mottling on the flank.

This flank shot shows the scalloped effect of the light margins on the wing coverts.

Also present were 3 Wilson's Phalaropes, both yellowlegs sp., several Solitary Sandpipers and Least Sandpipers. The shot below shows 2 of the Wilson's.
