not sure of the species, but spotted this one in the broken part of our wharf on a log. it then flew to the beach and walked away from my location. no sounds made, but it was bobbing its tail rapidly.

sharp pic, how big was it

By Tclenche on 9/3/2014 8:13:28 PM

not that big, much smaller than a yellowlegs. He was so fast, it was hard to get a good photo. I must compare the photo to the log he was on for a better idea of size

yes, the diameter of the wood it was perching on would be helpful. I've looked through , "eastern Birds" and can't find one that has that markings. maybe it is an immature.
