cpersia's Identifications

I have video of the bird as well. Moved extremely quickly, flitting back and forth among the low ground cover. Extremely skittish (hence the blurry iPhone photo, apologies). Either a female or an immature male.

In the audio you will hear my dog and me telling him to lay down, just in case you were curious.

This is a bird I have been wanting to see my entire life. It is the bird that got me interested in birding when I was a small child reading my Nana's Southeastern United States Birds book. I am on top of the moon!

A remarkably tolerant long-term managed pair here, nesting reliably adjacent to a busy road, a busy harbor, and, this year, a major construction site, using a small beach and stone sea wall and jetties as habitat. People seem to be observing the symbolic fencing around this pair's snippet of habitat. Not sure but this bird might have been settling onto a nest.
