I can't see enough of it to tell, looks like an ostrich to me with its head stuck in the sand.

The worms must be extra deep this time of the year.

Or, they're playing hard to get.

Really? LOL You are a hoot. But my best guess is a Western Sandpiper.

If that is a Western Sandpiper he would have had to have taken the picture on the very edge of the Pacific or in Alaska. I suspect he took it in Florida where he lives. No Westerns there. The markings are also very different.

Actually, Joe, we do get Western Sandpipers here. Got a photo of one a few weeks ago. They are smaller than this bird though. This is definitely a Willet as you said.
