Tired Dunlin in road puddle - Duxbury Beach MA 10-09-2010

A beach jogger walked within a couple of feet of this bird that was sitting in a puddle in the beach road just north of the 1st crossover. The bird finally ran (not flew) to another puddle and hunkered down and almost instantly appeared to be asleep.. I stopped and grabbed this picture. I can't tell whether the bird was just exhausted or had something wrong with it, and it seemed determined to be in the puddle in the road where it could easily get run over - looks like a rock not a bird from a distance. No sign of a carcass when I looked on my return up the road later in the day.
