Willet

Anna Maria Island, Florida

Initially believe these were Dunlins - saw lots of them - mostly in flocks all along the North end of Anna Maria Island,
but with the help of two fellow birders, agreed they were Willet - thanks to Hank Vander Velde & Raymond De Smet.
Best viewed in 'original' size.

Nice shot that white sand looks like snow :) It looks like a Willet (could it be this species ?)
