I don't like to double post with NSRBA but this was a "huge" bird for
me and another couple:

Yesterday, September 4th, following reports from Bob McDonald & Ronnie
D'Entremont, I felt I had to visit Pond Cove on Brier Island to try
for this species. I met another pair of birders there doing exactly
the same thing. After we had explored the entire shoreline from Little
Pond Cove to Big Pond Cove, a Baird's flew in with about 3 Least
Sandpipers. We only had 5-8 minutes with the birds before they left. I
spent a total of 4 hours on this beach. I think we were lucky. I have
six photos at the direct link below. Just prior to these are 8 photos
of WRSA that may be useful. I appreciate some help on this ID.
