Seen this morning about 10:30.  South and west of pelican island.  Feeding
in exposed mud with huge flock of western sandpipers.  Stuck out like sore
thumb.  Buffy face and neck,  dark bill shorter than a dowitcher.   Dark on
back and winds black with gold edging.  White Belly and yellow legs.  Much
larger than the westerns.  Also saw a female Tricolored blackbird feeding
in the road.  Much darker than a female red winged with no rufous tones.
