Stilts

From the other weekend at outer Gull Point:

“Pointy part” of Gull Point w/ Double-crested Cormorants
Yellowlegs (center, far left); Baird’s Sandpiper (right of center)
Mallards
Yellowlegs of different sizes

(Shot above: both Yellowlegs, could be Greater Yellowlegs on right and Lesser Yellowlegs on left, or it’s a juvenile/immature.)

The ‘bird of the month,’ a great sighting of a ‘rarely shows up at Gull Point’ Stilt Sandpiper (left, w/ Yellowlegs on right):

ID on Stilt Sandpiper – scaley, sandpiper-esque back feathers, relatively long and droopy bill like a Dunlin, white eyebrow, long green-yellow legs that are much less yellow than Yellowlegs:
