Interesting bird, and it's obvious why Spoon-billed Sandpiper comes to mind.
But, to me it looks more like a Semipalmated Sandpiper with an aberrant bill.
It's not a spoon-billed shape, with an expansion near the tip. Instead it's
expanded about mid-bill and roughly triangular.
More photos,
Here are Anthony's pictures, reposted.

Just an update on numbers from my earlier post:

vicinity and either following up on my earlier report or Aaron's freaky looking
sandpiper. They both tallied up to 20 BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS at my previously

some more details. *First, by no means am I calling this a Spoon-billed

Can anyone provide a little more information on this bird? Description of the

Thanks!

Update: A brief scan on my way back west. At 11:30 the group was still in the

road. Just a caution, if you're looking for Baird's, that a few White-rumped
are also now in the mix.
Good luck if you go.

This morning, at about 8:45 a.m., 8 Red Crossbills flew directly over me
heading southwest (I was on our lawn having just returned from hiking with
our dogs). They were moving fast and calling - the vocalizations sounded
