Recurvirostra americana
Large wading bird. Breeding plumage has a light reddish head and neck. White body with black lines on the black. Bill is long, black and upturned. Bluish grey legs. Winter plumage lacks the reddish color and has a light grey instead.
In breeding season they are found in marshes, beaches, prairie ponds, and shallow lakes. Feeding in shallow water or on mud flats
While taking pictures of other shorebirds I turned around and spotted this one.
