I am puzzling over this shot of a bird in flight I took today at Hayward Regional Shoreline, on the east side of the southern San Francisco Bay. I didn't see it before taking off. There were a lot of dowitchers around, which are the usual white-rumped suspects here, but this guy's tail is not a dowitcher tail.
It seems to match Ruddy Turnstone, which seems a bit odd, as this was a fairly muddy, rock-free environment (San Lorenzo Creek), and I didn't see any Turnstones walking around today. There are Ruddy Turnstones at Hayward, though. What do you all think? All comments appreciated!
