A Park employee took these images on 3/19/3013 at the sewage lagoons. He never was able to see the legs (didn't want to spook all the birds by moving around the fence too much).

Thanks for any assistance.

Thanks for the assitance. Shorebirds are found here, but certainly not often enough to be comfortable identifying them with certainty.
