We saw this one today on the shore of Mosquito Lake. It is 2x's the size of the short-billed dowitcher that the group helped identify a couple of days ago - we don't know what it is and would appreciate help in naming it.

Thanks

Maybe a Sandpiper of some sort? http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=images+of+sandpipers&um=1&ie=UTF-8
