This little guy or gal was avidly hunting dinner when I came upon it at Hobuck Beach in Neah Bay. Our camp neighbor, a birder, identified it as a northern plover but I haven’t found it in my bird book. Anyone else care to make a guess?

My uneducated guess would be a Dunlin.
such a cutie!
love your picture
No idea, off hand.
It’s quite a distinctive looking bird, though!
No mystery. I call it a short, fat beach bird.
I’d say Dunlin too – I saw some on the beach at Birch Bay one time – what a thrill. I love finding shore birds – for some reason they are fairly rare over here. Guess our beaches are not to their liking – I’ve love to go someplace and finds zillions of them. Great photo.
Not familiar with too many birds, but I think I would like to learn more.
Whatever it is, it’s certainly busy looking for munchies. 😉
No idea what he is, but he’s cute!
It is a long billed no neck brown coated fat shorebird.
