Hello all,
I'm not sure what bird this is. This photo was taken 2 days ago in Cumberland County, NJ. Much appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

Just spent 10 minutes with the Nat Geo book and Cornell Univ "All About Birds".
Looks like a Ruddy Turnstone - they summer in northern Canada and Alaska and winter along the coasts from Mexico to So America and the Caribbean in the East and California to So America in the West. Doesn't show their migration pattern but would assume it is along the coasts. Does say some juveniles are likely to hang around the coasts of No America all year long.

Thank you! I thought of that as a possibility, but I have a tough time IDing the smaller birds.

Thank you - all my bird books are boxed up right now. We are awaiting new furniture. It had better arrive soon as I cannot find anything right now.

This app works great. I took a picture of my computer screen with your picture on it, and the app on my phone instantly identified it as a ruddy turnstone as the others said.

Oh wow! I'd not heard about this. It will definitely wind up on my phone and iPad (if available for the iPad). Thank you for the information.

You're welcome. I have it on a Samsung Android phone and an iPad. The website says it's compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Android.
