ruddy turnstone
No, that's not the name of a soap opera actor... it's the name of a bird we saw at the beach this weekend. Apparently there have been quite a few sightings of them in the area; they're usually spotted elsewhere.

Re: ruddy turnstone
Just crank up your 3-d printer and make one...
It really IS a cool looking bird. We also saw an osprey, a green heron (very reclusive and hard to spot, but we got a photo of it in flight), lots of great blue herons, and dozens and dozens of little shore birds. Now I want to ID them all... Bird Detective! (Say, that would be a fun game, wouldn't it?)
