Yes this could be better, but I kept it because of the reflection. Can some help me with ID? As always suggestions welcome.

It appears to be a Solitary Sandpiper.

Thank you Joe. Because Iโ€™ve only been shooting from the drivers seat it takes patience and more than a bit of serendipity.

I really like the Merlin Ap on my iPhone - it is from the ornithology folks at Cornell. You can look up a list of probable birds based on size, color, location, and behavior (in a tree, on the ground, soaring, in the water, etc.). It shows range maps, plays the bird's calls, and has other info.

I recently acquired the Merlin Ap as well. It has helped me a lot to name birds when I don't have a clue or don't remember from the previous day.

Iโ€™m aware of it but but canโ€™t get enough free memory on my old IPhone to download it.
