On a recent family trip to the Outer Banks I was able to get these poor-quality 
pics of a shorebird.  This bird was feeding with some killdeer and "peeps" in a 
large grassy area near the Bodie Island Lighthouse. Our mystery bird was nearly 
the size of a Killdeer & you can see in one of the pics a comparison with a 
Least Sandpiper I believe. If this bird proves to be what I think it is, it is 
away from the normal migration route .  I always struggle with shorebird ID's 
so it will be interesting to see what others think.

Thanks, DaveR/Breaks,VA
