Thank you Josh! It was actually your Black-bellied plover spotting that told me what it was, because earlier that day I had looked at it. It was very cool to see it feeding along side a whimbrel.
Please do not pay attention to the range map on this photo, it was taken in San Diego, California. My range map does not seem to be working right now.
Great bird! You must have a sharp eye to pick that out on the beach.
