Black shorebird with long orange bill with dark tip and pale legs. Pale eyes with orange eyering.

Mostly found along rocky shore lines but these three youngsters found their way inland to fly with a large flock of shorebirds to rest on a boardwalk.

These were hatched this year near the bayshore in Alameda.
