One of the more famous birds to visit Rhode Island in recent history (see Providence Journal July 19, 2024), this elegant pink wader was enjoyed by many over the course of its three-week-plus stay in pristine Briggs Marsh. To judge by this bird’s overall appearance and the distinctive pattern of its molting wing coverts, it is almost certainly the same bird that was originally found at Georgica Pond in eastern Suffolk County, Long Island, New York,on May 31, 2024, and present there for most of June except for an apparent sojourn northeast to Chapin Beach, Dennis, on Cape Cod on June 2, and a second appearance there on July 15 just prior to its Rhode Island stay (Mitra 2024).
