While walking today, I flushed a bird from a roadside ditch, from where it flew under some bushes in between two houses. It was small, brownish, with a pale underbelly and a very long down curved bill, way out of proportion to the body (maybe 2.5 times the head size). When I returned home, the closest image I could see in my Sibley was a non-breeding adult dunlin. Is this possible away from the shore? The ocean was probably 500 yards away. Or does anyone have other suggestions? I thought at the time it might have been a woodcock, but never having seen one before, the Sibley picture was not the right colouring and the bill was more curved. Ken MacAulay Port Mouton, NS
