This unusual bird first appeared on Aug. 30, 2018 on the bayside of the dirt/sand road running the length of Duxbury Beach; it was south of the 1st xover at the first pulloff. The 8/30 photo was taken at 2:19pm just before a 10.3 ft HiTide at 2:45pm; no additional photos that day.

Looked for it at length (to get better photos) on 9/1, 9/2 and having given up, found it serendipitously on 9/3 and again on 9/8 in same area (just north of 1st crossover bayside) on exposed mud/sand flats within 2 hrs of low tide.

These documentation photos, when compared with the well-documented Plum Is. bird (2013) indicate it is a different individual. It has no random black markings above the shoulders and most notably the bill has no black on it - only a two-toned red and orange coloration. It was with 5 Semipalmated Plovers (SEPLs) on 8/30 but on 9/3 and 9/8 was by itself (SEPLs in pix came and went with no interaction).
